Re: new serial with V7R1?

That's what we were told by our BP. They said if we wanted to keep our serial number we had to order a Power 6 machine by sometime in May and keep it for at least 60 days before we could get a Power 7 machine.

Or, we could get a Power 7 machine with a new serial number and re-purchase the OS.

So our choices are; order an extra machine that we won't use for more the a couple of months or re-purchase the OS. Seems kind of shady to me.

No technical reason (assuming you do your homework). I think it has to
do with keeping the same serial number.

Larry,

Can you expand on this? We are currently on a Power 5+ and would like to
get to a Power 7. I don't see a technical reason why we can't go
straight to the 7...
