There are as many schemes as there are vendors. Some, like SAS, warn you. Some, like SYNCSORT, give you a 30 day grace period. Some, like PKWARE, stop you cold. BTW, since I've never worked in a shop that used the smaller engines, can you upgrade the speed without adding more CPUs? If you can, the response above was for adding more. I assume the ISV's just upgrade their records and their fees. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
