Re: V3r2 to V5R3 (The rest of the story)

There must have been at least 5 different boxes almost full
of CDs. I started going through the boxes but the descriptions
were very typical and was killing my time.

I wondered about those keys cause I did not see the normal
paperwork with the key info. This box does "not" have any
pc attached. Is that going to be a requirement to get the
keys on ???

During the initial IPL, the system asked for acceptance of
all the licensed products. I "accepted" and it went on it's merry
little way. I have a feeling that has something to do with the
keys but I'm not 100% on that.

I got to do some reading on this subject.

This is a "Express" machine and everything appeared to be preloaded
and the system was even mirrored up, which was a little bit of a
surprise.

I wonder if the keys are handled by that procedure ???

fyi - in the software box should have been a cd of the Information Center.
I like the old manuals myself, but have had to resort to Info Center cd when
I did not get such a quick support response.
Also - did you apply the encrypted keys to the product licenses yet?
That now requires a net connection for at least your pc to get the keys.
They are no longer shipping the paper with each keyed product.

Machine & products will run with warnings on qsysopr for 70 days till keys applied.
