Thanks for this... I'll have to check it out. This may make our decision easier.

IBM United States Software Announcement 211-021 February 8, 2011
which includes:
"IBM i license transfer -- Clients can now pay IBM for the right, in
certain situations, to transfer the IBM i operating system from one
system serial number to a different system serial number within the same
enterprise for POWER5, POWER6, and POWER7 models with IBM i operating
system per user pricing."

I haven't seen the pricing for this - check with your Business Partner.

Good luck! - Dan R.

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.
