BP just got back to me, the guy he goes to for the configs says a P7-740 8205-E6C (P20) Group1 CANNOT be transferred to a P9-S914 (P10) Group5.
He said I would have buy all new i5/OS licenses, unlimited users, etc, for the P10.
In the process of getting those numbers.
I referred him to the docs, asked him to please check again.

I pummel my inside guy who does eConfig. :-)
Honestly I realize that the option may not be there but it makes no sense whatever. The customer has a very standard P20 machine in that 740. He wants to move to a very standard P10 machine. That is 'Down' in my understanding I'd have to ask Alison why such a transfer isn't in there. Honestly it sounds like a bug or oversight. There could be a reason I suppose but again I'd certainly ask as it sounds like a very legit move that would come up reasonably frequently.

Larry,
So how would you transfer the license? eConfig does not have the option to transfer the SS1 license when replacing a 8205-E6C with a S914 6-core. Where-as the option does existing when replacing with a S924.

transfer issue
I think you read that wrong. The S914 6 and 8 core are Group 5.
That would make it a Group 1 to Group 5 transfer which is not listed
as valid specifically but is to a 'lower Group' which shows as $5,000.
But yes getting the other numbers is absolutely the correct path.
