HI Carl,

If the customer was on V4R5 before going to V5R1 and had  valid license keys
for that version, there is a way to display them. (I assume this is what you
mean?) Use DSPLICKEY and prompt to have them print the detail. This _should_
list all the previous keys loaded on the system.

HTH

Cheers.

Jan.
