ALERT
ON INVALID AS/400 Licenses
Some
AS/400
Licenses are being traded in the market place that are not valid. They may not
be valid for a number of reasons:
1.
The system
they have come from has been upgraded to a higher OS level In which case, the
paperwork for the previous release should have been destroyed
2.
The POEs may
not match the License key sheets
3.
There is a
License key sheet, but no POE
To guard
yourselves against buying invalid Licenses, it is recommended that the following
steps be taken to validate the Licenses on offer to you:
1.
Check the
serial number of the system with the License Key Centre to find out what release
of software is showing on the IBM system. This will confirm whether the
paperwork matches the system.
- If the
paperwork is at a lower release, then this software is not available for sale
and the paperwork should be destroyed.
2.
Email the
License Key Centre copies of the paperwork (both POE and License key) to confirm
their validity.
3.
Do not allow
anyone to transfer the Licenses for you. If you have the correct paperwork, IBM
will be able to transfer the software for you.
