A few years ago I wanted to remove 11 obsolete MAPICS license keys. The keys were for license term V5R2 and I determined that after doing a RMVLICKEY, I could prompt and get all parameters. I figured instead of deleting the 11 keys individually, if I was careful and put in the right parms, I could delete all 11 keys at once.

I wasn't careful enough and deleted our IBM LPP keys too.

I then found out it's really wise to have a hard copy of all your keys. I didn't have one but somehow I made just one call to IBM (imagine that) and received an e-mail with the LPP keys. We didn't miss a beat but I was sweating bullets until I added the missing keys.

The eleven obsolete keys are still in the repository, I just don't have the stomach to remove them.
