Steve,
< reduced OS key (Qty 1) for the donor system is only good for 5 days after creation.
What happens to the donor system on day 6?
Does it run with key error messages?
Will it IPL?
Paul

That is the correct document and process. I normally do this for my customers after they have migrated as the reduced OS key (Qty 1) for the donor system is only good for 5 days after creation.
Note that you will need to change the LPAR profiles on all IBM I partitions on the donor system to be 1 CPU max total across all IBM I LPARs and activate the LPAR from the changed profile otherwise the key will not apply. Best process is to delete all but one IBM I partition and just change that one.

Anyone do the license transfer process from old machine to new machine recently?
I found this link, not sure if this is current, link/doc includes several links which "appear" to be broken.
ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/systems/support/planning/transfer/GI11982418.pdf
I believe below are the steps needed, however, I don't have all the details.
Also, must you wait till the migration is complete, or can this be in initiated prior to migration.
1) Install the reduced-quantity software license key(s) on the donor machine . (PTF required prior to installing the Donor key). The reduced-quantity software key(s) must be installed in all IBM i partitions on the donor machine and verification submitted to the Key Center before the increased quantity key(s) and entitlement(s) for the receiving machine will be made available on the ESS web site.
2)Send the required verification (screen shots) of the donor key(s) installation to IBM Worldwide Support Center WWSWKEYS@xxxxxxxxxx, also known as the "Key Center". The Key Center will then make the increased quantity key(s) available for the receiving machine.
3) Install the increased-quantity key(s) on the receiving machine.
Thank You
