To all,
I have a few customers that are planning to upgrade to a new i-Series.  I was 
told by MAPICS/Infor that to move XA to a new machine, I would have to go 
through the installation process to rebuild AMALIB on the new machine (and put 
programs in QGPL, etc).  The problem is that one customer is at XA/R3  :(!!  
They are not sure if they can find the original tapes, and even if they did, 
the new machine may not be able to read those tapes.

Shouldn't I be able to do a SAVE ALL on the one machine (V4R2) and a restore to 
the new machine (V5R3) and then install the new license keys?

Anyone done this?

TIA,
Eric A. Wolf
