Re: Displaying License Keys

Hey Leif, you're fired!  <g>  Gee, first you go changing the system serial
number, and now this!  I'll bet IBM loves you!  (Like you cared, eh? <g>)

BTW, is this documented in the MI ref?  Or did you just match that DAD info
with your documents?

How about the other software licenses?

Keep the good stuff coming!

STRSST, DAD, starting address C00000BC6C 000000

Scan string x'E294D384'

shows your system serial number and 5 lines further down
your software serial number.

If your system is manufactured in Rochester, both will start with
'10-'.  The software serial number contains 7 more digits.
