Re: Moving to a new AS400

why did IBM tell you that you had to use a new serial number machine?

Did you ask if you could just "upgrade in place"?

It's the norm to upgrade the EXISTING machine and the existing s#...so,
why did they tell you that you had to goto a new box?

(YES, I know that 5.2+ won't support alot of old hardware...:)
