RE: v5r1 license key

Zak,

Are you a college student, trying to learn the iSeries, or just
independently wealthy with a lot of leisure time on your hands?

I'm not trying to be sarcastic(OK, maybe just a little sarcastic ;-) ), but
you don't generally find someone who bought/leased an iSeries "just for
fun". The AS/400-iSeries line was designed as a machine to run business
software, or as a development platform to produce business software. I'm
sure nearly everyone on this list is either an employee in the MIS
department of a company that uses the iSeries to run all or part of their
business, or developers who sell/support business software for the iSeries.
You're not gonna find a lot of "hobbyists" here. I'm not even sure what a
iSeries hobbyist would do with the machine.

Anyway, back to your original question, can you keep reloading the O/S every
70 days with a scratch install? The answer is, I believe, yes. I'm sure Al
or some of the other experts here who know much more than me can give you a
definitive answer, but most likely it would work. As for the ethical
questions of running non-licensed software, and where a "hobbyist" would get
the CD's to run this non-licensed software, that I think we should take to
the Non-tech list.
