600 IBM Eserver i5 and iSeries System Handbook
release upgrade of OS/400 is needed to support the hardware upgrade, a current
Software Subscription or Software Maintenance contract for the system is
required, or an After License Fee paid and the Software Maintenance contract
acquired for the system.
When upgrading Models 520, 550, 570, 595, 800, 810, 825, 870, or 890
(processors #2497 and #2498 only), the hardware upgrade includes a quantity of
OS/400 processor license entitlements. For example, customers with the server
package on a 3/6-way system upgrading to an 8/16-way system receive an
additional five OS/400 processor license entitlements (startup to startup) for no
additional charge as a part of the hardware upgrade. In this example, the startup
quantity of the “from” system is three and the startup quantity of the “to” system is
eight. The hardware upgrade includes five OS/400 processor license
entitlements so that after the upgrade, there are license entitlements for all of the
startup processors.
Activating standby processors requires that a processor license entitlement for
OS/400 be acquired, if OS/400 is run on any fraction of the standby processor. If
a standby processor that only uses the Linux operating system is activated, an
OS/400 license entitlement is not necessary. A model-to-model per processor
upgrade charge applies to OS/400 license entitlements for standby processors.
Software License Manager/400 (SLM/400) assists in license compliance by
counting the number of processors using OS/400 and comparing this level of use
to the usage limit in the Work License Information (WRKLICINF) interface. If the
license entitlement is exceeded, additional OS/400 processor licenses must be
acquired, or the configuration of the system must be changed to run OS/400 only
on the quantity of processors licensed. A software license key for OS/400 must
be entered for continued use past 70 days. This software license key is
preloaded by IBM on new iSeries hardware purchases.
A Proof of Entitlement (POE) document may not be shipped with software as
proof of a valid license. Otherwise an Electronic Proof of Entitlement (ePoE) is
available from the Web. See “OS/400 terms and conditions changes” on
page 601 for a full description of this.
In the event that the designated system is transferred (or sold), OS/400 must
transfer with it. Notify the receiving party of the program's terms, and provide the
POE, LID, IPLA, and Software License Key Sheet documents for OS/400 to the
purchaser. IBM licenses the receiving party when that party accepts the
program's license terms by initial use of the program. Your OS/400 license is then
terminated. When OS/400 is transferred with the system, the bonus programs
are also transferred.
