RE: Moving OS to new machine V7R3 to V7R5

Hi Jerry,

From documents on our IBM i license topics web site https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-i-license-topics you can see "Software Maintenance (SWMA) is required on the donor machine. Each software entitlement to be transferred must have SWMA coverage." If you are asking about the Service Extension (SE) that is needed to get support on certain releases (such as 7.3) that is on top of base SWMA, then no, it is not needed to perform a transfer. Just active base SWMA. Thanks...Dan

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Moving OS to new machine V7R3 to V7R5

Is a V7R3 extended SWMA required in order to move OS and LPP to a new machine at V7R5.
