Remember, if that is a Power5 520, those upgrade paths are over. In addition, if it is a Power6 520 and it is a P05, there is no "MES" upgrade from that machine. You can certainly transfer the licenses which will save you money, but you need to understand the type of user licenses that you have.
If you want send me an email (to my private email address without the -ml) and I can give you exact information based upon exactly what you have.

Jack,
I'm not sure if still available, but there was a 520 MES upgrade option to a 720, instead of buying a new system.
When doing a MES upgrade, you keep your same serial number, reducing both hardware and software upgrade costs.

So I can see upgrading that system to 7.1 and then moving to the new hardware.
In the old days, you could order a new system with new software using your license and since it's only a few users and printers I would move the software and users to the new system.
Where can I buy a new system lol?

The 520's can run 7.1 and it is much easier to move to a new system on the same OS. The new 720 will run 6.1 and 7.1
Yes you can purchase a new system and software. Since it is such a small shop it may not be difficult to recreate the users and security and It could be a good time to tighten security. Make sure you get quotes for upgrading the 3rd party software.

Subject: Buy a new system
I have a customer that has a 520. The owner of the company likes to buy a new system every 5 or so years. They are a little late but they came to me to get them quotes.
I don't even know where to start. It's a small company with 10 green
screen users so I'm sure the lowest capacity new system would be plenty.
They run a LANSA website, some EDI, and Townsends secure FTP product.
I asked another customers vendor and he said "just upgrade that system to 7.1".
Is it not possible to buy a new system and upgrade the software anymore J
