Well, if that's what it is I can't name a single customer of ours that 
kept that after a release was installed.  :-(

Neil,

        I believe that IBM is refering to the serial number that is 
printed on the
document that looks like a "packing slip", and is shipped with software
orders.  It looks like the hardware serial number, 5 to 7 alpha numeric. 
It
may also be on the "media report" that is also shipped with the software.

HTH

Alex

Jim,

Thanks for the suggestion - that was what I had tried first before a few
others mentioned how to display the actual keys.
Turns out even that isn't good enough for IBM - I'm being told they won't
add the software to the customers order record without the "software
serial number".  Working with the 400 since 1988 that's the first I've
ever heard of a software serial number.  Anyone else know what they're
talking about ?

...Neil

neil - would suggest either a print key of WRKLICINF (work license info)
detail screen:
or the option 6 to print detail. - it includes the system name. If system
name not same as serial#,
then printkey the QSRLNBR sysval (will have same system name). Support
could
also easily dial in
thru ECS to verify.
since it would be impossible for this screen to indicate your licensed,
had
key not been given.
