I wasn't really criticising, and if I came across that way, I appologise. But, even under PR/SM there are differing serial numbers per LPAR. The first two (of 7) are based on the LPAR and the LP. The last 5 match the last 5 of the physical serial number. Most vendors followed IBM's recommendation, many years ago, to license based on just the last 5. I only know of one ISV, based in Islandia New York, that made you install multiple keys on multiple CPC's, based on all logical serial numbers, thus making admin a real pain. - 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
