I would, but we're in the process of renewing our SWAMA and we're currently expired.    Maybe someone else could?

According to the IBM presentation on this, the PTFs modify the License Manager on the system - the effect is the same, still, I believe the keys are likely still there, just not visible through the License Manager.


Submit a case post haste!

The PTF removes all licensing requirements for the "FREE" LPP's, which
include Client access. In addition to removing the requirements, it
also removes the keys from the WRKLICINF screen.
However, Client Access V7R1 is checking for the existence of those keys
regardless. I tried adding the key back in after the apply, but that
didn't work. The only solution is to remove the PTF and the keys re-appear.

I was interested in this PTF in order to use Advanced Job Scheduler.

Gavin,

So what was the fix for - ... where it breaks connecting with the Client
Access Client V7R1 ??

cume?

Heads up..

These PTF's removes the license information for Client Access.

We experienced issues where it breaks connecting with the Client Access
Client V7R1 (spare me the lectures).
We also encountered some ACS clients not being able to connect.

Anyone else experience this?

The new no charge software that IBM includes with IBM i now can be set to
not need a key by PTF now. (as of 10/10/23)

You'll need PTFs:
7.3: SI83646
7.4: SI83647
7.5: SI83648

IBM even pulled it from V7R1 and V7R2:
7.1: SI84524
7.2: SI83645

Now you just need to load the software and apply the PTFs. (remember to
apply all the latest groups, etc...)
