I would like to correct this bit of mis-information from myself with an
apology for not having my facts straight.
Actually, the CPU did change and is not on vendor maintenance, so that
triggered the need for a new key, not just an OS/400 upgrade. And as we all
know, new keys on hardware change is to be expected.

Of course, 25-30% of full license cost for a key when retiring an old CPU
does make it too much more palatable.

~~~Charging a surprise fee for license key on an upgrade to

~~~You have a grace period to decide, the software now contains
