Re: license keys

:-)

They keys though reflect quantities and dates and ... I'm not aware of any 'materialize this key' process at IBM it would rather be like 'un-hash' I think.

But if IBM is asking.

I'm with you it's all about the serial number to me. They have many databases with that data in there. They are often not right though, so.....

And you may be right that the license keys may not "prove" anything.
However, IBM is asking for those license keys. Maybe based on the license
keys they can track down if they've been transferred. Why they can't do
that based on the old serial number escapes me but I didn't write their
license manglement system.
