Re: IBM i Processor and User Entitlement Transfer issues/costs

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

WHen moving down from P20 to P10 the biggest issue is needing to acquire 
user licenses. At P20 you are licensed per core and users are included 
though P20 core licenses are indeed significantly more than P10 ones. 
Unlimited users at P10 is a $50K ticket though it does cover ALL the 
cores on the system.

Your i licenses and all the other stuff (Compilers, SQL et. al.) can be 
transferred to the lower tier machine.
