LIC install in progress.  I am definitely getting my $250 worth from the
fine folks in Rochester.  For as nasty a situation as this is, the
experience has been less painful than I would have expected.  Not only that,
much was demystified.

P.S. Here is the scoop as best I could understand from my support person.
There are TWO copies of the LIC, A and B.  B has temp PTFs, A does not.
Both are saved when you do a SAVSYS, both are wiped out when you do a LIC
load.  There is only one copy of the OS and licensed programs, and it
includes all PTFs.  When you boot to the A side, you are running PTF'd OS
code on top of non-PTF'd LIC.  (PTF'd and non-PTF'd referring to temporary
PTFs only; permanent PTFs are always loaded for both LIC and OS.)
