Re: CPF9E72 Grace Period Expiring Message

[Rich Loeber <rich@xxxxxxxxx>]

The software keys are valid and the serial number is correct.  This 
happened at 3:30pm yesterday at a time when the server in question was 
just doing application development and testing work.  We don't even use 
BRMS.

It appears to have been a one-off event.  A full search of the QSYSOPR 
message queue does not reveal any other similar messages.
