RE: Problem with specifying previous release 6.1

Thanks everyone for all the responses. I just confirmed with IBM that it is
still n-2 versions and there isn't a "magic" ptf that will provide n-3.

The specifics are that I am a consultant developing for a company that has a
client / server package that they sell and I am responsible for the iSeries
client side. We are at the mercy of the customer as far as which version of
OS they are running. Or, I guess in this case, any V6.1 customers are now
at my mercy and will have upgrade to get new versions. :)

I have a tiny machine (8202-E4D) that either doesn't handle hosted LPARs
well or I screwed up the LPARing because a while back I had V7.1 hosting a
V6.1 LPAR and the machine got really slow. I have since wiped the machine
and installed (not upgraded) V7.3 which wiped the V6.1 LPAR and it runs fast
again (relatively speaking).

A while back someone offered me a 270 machine which maxed out at V5R4.
Since V5R4 is not available and not supported, is there any way to get keys
for it or since is it beyond support, can the folks that have the machine
give me their keys and I am good to go...or is that a license violation? I
don't want to release software if the keys used to create it are illegal.
