Re: License Keys for V5R3

Craig, 


DSPLICKEY after a full system restore will 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 ...  and as Rob said, compare to what you see in those messages.


Hope that helps,

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.
