RE: v5r1 license key

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Liotta)]

I don't recall anyone posting to say that this definitely works. Even then, 
perhaps depending on the model or DASD configuration, I'm not sure it can be 
relied upon to work. I'm almost certain I recall an attempt on one system (a 
model 400, IIRC) to get this to work and it remembered that the license had 
already expired. My impression was that it was tied into the control panel or 
perhaps particular tracks on the load-source drive or some similar mechanism. 
Never really had a need to remember for certain.

I'd be very interested in somebody who could say they'd done this successfully 
themselves and tell what model and VRM of OS/400. Likewise, comments from 
anyone it's failed for would be interesting. Post from an anonymous service if 
you're worried about going public.
