One big thing to consider is communicating with your vendors on your plans. For example, if you are running software "ERP xyz" talk to them. The issues can range from no problem to severe.
- No problem, go ahead.
- Tell us the model and serial number and we'll get you a new key.
- You'll need a few patches from us to get past the object conversion issues.
- You have to pay a small charge for paperwork when moving to a new serial number.
- You have to put on a major upgrade of our software since that old stuff just won't run on the new OS.
- We dropped the IBM i. Would you like our Windows version?
- We went out of business.
- You dropped maintenance on us. You will have to catch up on all maintenance payments plus a severe penalty. This will be higher than buying the new version outright. Oh, and since you are running the old version we cannot sell you the new version outright at list prices. You will have to pay for the old maintenance payments and the penalty. After that then we'll give you a version which will work on the new OS and processor, and a key to run it.
I am NOT exaggerating on that last one.
