Yes, I am all up to date on HWMA. I actually just got my note that it's
due in a month or so because in the past I've had to track someone down to
pay it instead of waiting for them to contact me (which they normally
don't... love those late fees I guess!)

I did talk with IBM and they said you need to go into ESS first and renew
the key, Then use Go SERVICE option 20 and it should grab the new key.

I just did the ESS renewal and for some reason the expiration date is still
today.. I don't know if I have to wait until it expires to actually renew
it or now (ie, it expires today, so maybe wait until tomorrow to renew?)

Seems like a lot of pointless busy work. :)

Curious....do you have HWMA on the Power 8? The only way I could get a
new UAK after it expired was to pay for HWMA, which is weird since the
P9 is a Developer Discount box and they just renewed my SW keys no sweat.

If you were able to renew the UAK without HWMA, inquiring minds would
like to know.....

Ok, I don't use HMC, so last time I had to update my UAK I had to go
through the whole rigamarole of hooking my PC up to my Power 8 via
Ethernet, setting the IP correctly (which took some testing) and then
uploading my new UAK after getting it from "my entitled ..." online.

So this time I did GO SERVICE option 20 and it said everything worked
fine.

Update Access Key has been handled successfully.

But the date of expiration didn't change.

I did open a case with IBM in case something else is wrong, but I don't
understand what's going on and I don't want to have to go through the
whole
process again of setting my PC IP, hooking up a long ethernet cable,
etc...
etc.. blaah... haha. (yes, it's frustrating).
