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.

One of the downfalls about using IBM's LMC that I've heard from a 
colleague
is that nothing prevents someone from deleting the "licensed program" from
the system at the end of the trial period and re-installing it to start a
new trial period.  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.
