Re: P7 8205 to P9 S914 or P9 S924 - P20 to P10 license transfer issue

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I pummel my inside guy who does eConfig. :-)

Honestly I realize that the option may not be there but it makes no 
sense whatever. The customer has a very standard P20 machine in that 
740. He wants to move to a very standard P10 machine. That is 'Down' in 
my understanding I'd have to ask Alison why such a transfer isn't in 
there. Honestly it sounds like a bug or oversight. There could be a 
reason I suppose but again I'd certainly ask as it sounds like a very 
legit move that would come up reasonably frequently.
