Jim,
New P9 won't be up and running in test mode for another week or so, still waiting on network gear.
Did things change from previous P models.
When we went from our P5 to P7, one i5 OS license had to remain with the old 5, so we had to buy one new, transferred 2.
Maybe that's why I saw the new keys immediately.
With the P7 to P9, all licenses are being transferred, so the process may be slightly different.
Thanks
Paul

If you moved the software from the old box to the new box, your partner will
have to request "reduction keys" from IBM. You apply those keys to the
donor system and take screen shots of the screens having done it, save those
to a document. You'll need to give that to your partner.
Your partner will then request the new permanent keys for the P9. Meanwhile
the donor machine is essentially a vegetable.
In short get to it so the 70 day trial does not get you. Technically you
should have configured the "migration" feature code, (and pay for it) then
you would have the ability to keep both systems functional during the
cutover. Both systems would also be under maintenance (software/hardware)
at that point too.

When receiving a new P9, how long should it take before seeing the new IBM I
software keys on the IBM support site for the new serial number make and
model.
5062: No keys found for the selected operating system.
Thank You
