I purchased the box on eBay a few months ago with r420 and no license.

I'm not familiar with transferring the license, so there may be a place to
start.

I could tell you where I got r510, but then I'd have to kill you.

I have the QSECOFR and DST passwords. Moot anyway since I scratched up to
r510.

I have not yet spoken with IBM. I wasn't sure if I should start there or go
straight to a BP or such.

Incidentally, my "day job" company is a BP. Any way I could use that to my
advantage?

The 510 "comes" with some version of OS/400..... The question is:

What did it have when you got the machine ???

Have you requested a transfer of license to you ??

Where did you get the V5R1 release ???

I assume you have the system passwords ???

Have you spoke to anybody at IBM ???
