If you're talking about having the program go out to the iSeries and check
the software license, then yes it could work for IBM to do it. However,
it can't just be assumed that the user has a valid *current* license just
because they've got the product installed and have previously connected to
an iSeries. WDSc is free if you have a *CURRENT* software subscription
contract. Someone might have had it, but let it lapse.
My 2 cents . . .
