However, if you transfer the OS license to another machine you end up
with a machine without a legitimate OS license that can be bought and
sold.

I thought and correct me if I am wrong, but at V5R1 all license keys for

the OS went with the machine and not the owner.......

Planning to buy a model As400 -520 from ebay for personal use

It does not come with os400 lickey..so does that mean that I will have

to
reload os400 every 70 days ?

Sanjivji:

Yes and no. What we've seen is that you can reload the OS numerous
times and that you have to reload if you need to IPL after license
grace period expires. The system doesn't just come to a stop after
70 days, but you don't want to have daily power up/down cycles. A
power interruption is trouble.

We have used one _very_ test system built from many spare parts and
named SPAREPTS. We used it for stuff that we thought _might_ destroy
a system (and sometimes did). It would obviously never be used for
production.
