Re: Has anyone gone through this with Infor?

Yes, it is a TRANSFER.

Once upon a time a TRANSFER meant moving BPCS to a new and improved version
of AS/400/i/series whatever, or arranging for some other company totally
unrelated to yours to take over your computer hardware and software.

Now a transfer is

* You move your company HQ to another address.

* You move your computer operations to a different facility of your
company.

* You upgrade your iseries to the next best box

* Your company management changes the name of the company to better
reflect the business you are now in.

* Your owners sell the company to new owners

* Anything else Infor can think of



Not all customers of Infor will have the identical contract language. Many
years ago on SSA our contract said that there would be no transfer or
upgrade fees if we moved to a different S/36 box. So when we tried to move
to AS/36 there was this horrendous battle. Our management thought AS/36 was
a 36, while SSA thought it was a 400.

We moved our Iseries to a different plant of ours - 3 miles away. Same
company, same Iseries, same BPCS version. Nothing else was changed???



Below is a response after we have complied with an Infor audit in January.

The contract restricts the use of BPCS to the location 1711 Wisconsin Avenue
/ New Holstein WI 53061 through the following language in the attached
contract:

2. LICENSE. In consideration for the license fee specified in Schedule A,
SSA grants to CLIENT a perpetual, personal, nontransferable and
non-exclusive right to use the SOFTWARE, only on the computer specified in
Schedule A or an identical computer that is a direct and single replacement
for it, and only at the location specified in Schedule A. The SOFTWARE may
be used only for the benefit of CLIENT and its subsidiaries.

I need to determine if Amerequip might have any documentation that would
have granted them the rights to move the software to the new location. If
so, we can use that to resolve this issue. If not, we will have to discuss
what the required resolution is to get the license back into compliance.
