The temporary keys are tied to a specific expiration date. And the generic ones that default to like, 70 days after install, will die too after x number of installs. I don't know where they store that but by gosh it's there. It's a pretty good technique. Keep in mind that the faq lists an IBM document to scratch install your system for resale. And I use it all the time. But I've noticed that you cannot reuse QSECOFR passwords on the initialized machine. So how much is really scratched is questionable.

He said he's seen this with one third-party product with a 30-day trial period. Is this true? If so, it seems that you'd have to hard-code a date in the product and generate new object code every day for download. And, if you're going that far, maybe the download page should just require that the system serial number be entered so that it can be encoded for each system. Carl, if you're sharing your technique, but not posting it to the list at large, I'd be interested in learning about it. db -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
