Software keys

[Dennis Munro <DMunro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To all,

Just so you don't get caught like I did, be aware that your permanent BPCS
keys INCLUDE the system model number.  We did an MES from a 9402 model 400
to a 9402 model 720 which means I kept my same IBM serial number.  

It vaguely rang a bell that model number is part of the key but when you do
the serial number bit only once, it's just not something you think about.  I
had kept the same serial number & I figured all was okay.

All the other licensed (non-IBM) applications I have ONLY use serial number.
So, with them I had no problems.  

BPCS uses serial number & model number so I have to request new permanent
BPCS keys.  That will take them a few days to get back to me (at least it
did originally 2 ½ years ago) unless I push for some temporary keys.

The one thing I should also mention is that this machine is my test/dev box
so it is not like my production machine is down.  

Still a lesson learned & not to be forgotten in the future.  Some words of
wisdom to anyone else thinking of doing what we did.
