Re: R: AS/400 Serial Number

Let's not get confused here.  When you load OS/400 without a license key,
you get 70 (or is it 71) days.  Most of the vendor software is not so
gracious.  In TAATOOL we have a CRTGRCKEY command that buys you ten days,
one time, anywhere.  We assume that no matter what happens, you can reach
us in 10 days.

We had some positive comments (from COMMON) during the WTC disaster that we
were relatively accessible.  Our offices were open all of the time,
although incoming calls were "hit and miss" for a few days.  Outgoing calls
were bad enough that we had to change long distance providers.

Al,

>control is) provide access keys within 15 minutes.

As contrasted to the 60 days it reportedly may take to get a new system
password
for the licensee on record of an old Dxx box?

It can take more than 15 minutes just to get through auto-attendent/voice
mail
hell with some companies -- especially after hours...
