Contact your BP, they can help expedite another temporary key (max of 45
days) through the key center.

Subject: RE: V5R3 License Key
Mark,
Not being familiar with how licensing is done with the Academic
Initiative I'm going to assume you have possibly 3 options:
1.) License keys would have been sent with the software (even V5R3)
2.) If the s/n has been associated with an IBM ID (one you use to
access certain restricted functions) you can try the following link
https://www-05.ibm.com/servers/eserver/ess/ProtectedServlet.wss?NO_SCRIP
T=YES&show_page=key_first_search.jsp&command=ShowPageCommand
I'm assuming this has not been done.
3.) Not knowing the location of the school I will send you (off list) a
list of AI contacts who might be able to assist or get someone at this
school in connection with a helpful person.

Subject: V5R3 License Key
The local community/technical college just recently upgraded (finally)
to
V5R3. However, the person they had do the upgrade neglected to add the
license key for Client Access and the grace period has expired <which I
warned them about 3 or 4 weeks ago when I was last there when it said
they
had 20-something days before it expired> and they are unable to connect
to
the AS/400 (from what I've been told they can sign on but have no
command
line access, which is kind of needed.....).
The person in charge says that the ONLY contact they have available is
to go
through Rochester directly (they are part of the IBM PIE/Academic
Initiative/whatever it's called now) and he would "try" to get someone
to
get it fixed.
I am pretty sure that with V5R4 you no longer get the piece of paper
that
has the license key but not sure about V5R3 (even if they did I
sincerely
doubt that anyone there knows where or what it is.) This is a program
my
wife and I are trying to re-invigorate but the current person in charge
is
basically a "do nothing" kind of person and that's what we are stuck
with
right now.
Is there any direction/guidance anyone has so I can point/help them out
in
getting a key ASAP (by my wive's next RPG class Thursday afternoon).
She
just found out when she went to the classroom for her class this
afternoon
and ended up having to cancel the RPG and CL classes scheduled for today
after not getting anywhere with the Program Chair.
