Re: License Keys for V5R3

Craig,

DSPLICKEY after such a full system restore will still show you any "old" keys that are still in the license repository, but that may have been on a different machine with a different CPU serial #.   So, you need to look closely at those entries, and compare that to the actual serial #, e.g. DSPSYSVAL QSRLNBR ...

Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury

There's nothing in the recovery manual about keying in the license information.  It should have restored from the backup.  This is why I asked my earlier questions.  I know some people who like to IPL from optical to prepare the disks and restore the base OS.  But that's mainly for system migrations.  This helps reduce downtime (if you really know what you are doing).  However it shouldn't apply in your situation unless someone did the optical thing anyway.

When you do the DSPLICKEY what are the values for
Usage limit
Expiration date
