Re: V7 Software List

[Kirk Goins <kirkgoins@xxxxxxxxx>]

Another possibility is they are migrating the IBM LPPs from the old system.
Depending on your starting HW and Target System, there are 2 possible ways
to do this. It's either a true Upgrade where you keep the serial number and
get some kind of credit if you will for the old HW. The other is a Box Swap.
In this case you would get a new serial number and a new copy of the OS. We
would then Migrate the IBM LPPs to the new system. Unless you are going Up a
P-Group most of these will come across as No-Charge.

Now there are many factors that will influence the final out come, but that
is a 30,000ft level

I would also get a 2nd proposal fro another BP and see what they come up
with. There are several of us BP's on the list and I'm sure anyone of us
would be glad to assist.
