After upgrading to V5R4M5, will the i5/OS version be V5R4M5, or will  
only the LIC version change to V5R4M5?

In other words, does "slipping the Lic" as you say above mean that  
only the LIC changes and nothing is different at the OS level?

Or does the function of the OS stay the same, but the version number  
advance?

Or is it perhaps something else that happens?

thanks in advance,
