Re: P7 8205 to P9 S914 or P9 S924 - P20 to P10 license transfer issue

Paul,

The BP can perform a NewSys upgrade, transfering all licenses but base OS (1 lic) and unlimited users.

It's just load the base edit from original system, press upgrade, select NewSys and select the brand new system.

Now, I don't know how good is your relation with them, but sometimes they (we) need a push with a competing quote :-|

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.
