Re: Software Licensing for HA systems

The World Trade Center bombing (1993) had me recovering a firm that needed
to run payroll that weekend.  (The bombing occurred on Friday, February 26,
1993.)

I was recovering the customer at a DR site, and their H/R vendor had no
method of getting me a software key over the weekend.

So I changed the system serial number, and we ran payroll.

IBM was really mad at me!

    Of course, be sure to define "reasonable" and get it in writing.  If
your business is a 24 x 7 operation or works multiple shifts or etc.,
you want to be able to get that key at, say, 0300 on Sunday.
