And this is the problem at this time. A friend who *had* a licensed PWD Thinkpad/Flex system found that her license expired and now she can't even IPL the system. And the least expensive "remote" option is many more dollars than she can afford, and many, many more dollars than the FLEX solution. IBM is shutting out the small ISV community entirely, and PWD *will not* address it. That's why there is so much noise about it, no one can get a reasonable answer from PWD. > It just not worth losing our jobs over. Really. Understood. You should not be asked to risk your job when it is PWD and the lawyers and Armonk-think that are the problem-causers. Thanks for chiming in nonetheless.
