Re: Getting legal!

With all due respect, No.

Only with models 6XX did OS/400 become a standard part of the hardware, and
then still LPPs need to be licensed.

The person with a model 510 will have to either purchase software
subscription, or purchase the "upgrade" from IBM.  Although software
subscription may seem like a waste, and the model 510 is destined to become
a boat anchor, it can be transferred to a newer model.

As you examine your options, it may be less expensive to buy a smaller,
cheaper, more powerful newer model, and lower your software tier from P30
to P05.

The 510 "comes" with some version of OS/400..... The question is:

What did it have when you got the machine ???

Have you requested a transfer of license to you ??

Where did you get the V5R1 release ???

I assume you have the system passwords ???

Have you spoke to anybody at IBM ???
