Since we have the two engines in reserve our understanding is that we can simply configure them online without an IPL or Activate. My question is in two parts. Has anyone done this and were there any issues with third party products? > >Thanks, Part 1: Yes, many times... upgrades and downgrades PArt 2: Depends (of course). Software that only cares about the serial will be fine (but you still may be violating a contract if you don't notify the vendor). Software that cares about the model number or capacity could have a problem. An ENF signal is sent when the upgrade happens so anyone who cares and is listening will know about it. SYSEVENT QVS will tell the software what the capacity is. I do know of some software that does this sort of thing. One example is Compuware LMS.
