For more information and help.17 Revision History.18. © IBM Corporation 2014 GI11-9824-13 1 1. Overview 1.1 What is the IBM i Processor and User Entitlement Transfer offering?

IBM i terms and conditions require that IBM i operating system license entitlements remain with the machine for which they were originally purchased. Under qualifying conditions, IBM® will allow the transfer of IBM i processor and user entitlements from one machine to another. This capability helps facilitate machine replacement, server consolidation and load rebalancing while protecting a customer's investment in IBM i software. When requirements are met, IBM i license transfer can be configured via the IBM Configurator for e-business (commonly known by the short name e-config). 1.2 Applicable program/product numbers 5722-SS1 IBM i 5.4 5761-SS1 IBM i 6.1 5770-SS1 IBM i 7.1 and subsequent releases The IBM i Processor and User Entitlement Transfer process and guide applies only to the products listed above. It does not apply to any other software products, e.g.

BRMS or PowerVM, or to hardware activations. The transfer rules for other products are covered by the terms and conditions under which the customer acquired the other IBM software and/or hardware products. The IBM i operating system program is licensed under the terms of the International Program License Agreement (IPLA) (Z125-3301) and license amendment GC52-1312. These documents can be found at 2. Terms and Conditions 2.1 Eligibility To be eligible for IBM i entitlement transfer, the following requirements must be met:.

The IBM i entitlements must be owned by the end user’s enterprise1. The donor machine and receiving machine must be owned or leased by the end user’s enterprise. The donor machine must have been in operation in the same end user’s enterprise as the receiving machine for a minimum of one year. Software Maintenance (SWMA) is required on the donor machine. Each software entitlement to be transferred must have SWMA coverage. An electronic Proof of Entitlement (ePoE) must exist in the IBM License Management System (LMS) for the entitlements to be transferred.

© IBM Corporation 2014 GI11-9824-13 2. The donor machine entitlements must be IBM i 5.4, i 6.1, or i 7.1 or later.

Transfers are not supported for systems entitled at i5/OS V5R3 or earlier.2. The receiving machine must have activated processors available to accommodate the transferred entitlements.

No 'banking' of the transferred software entitlements is allowed. When a donor machine is leased, IBM i entitlements must be transferred prior to the end of the lease. The IBM i Processor and User Entitlement Transfer offering may not be used in conjunction with the “Move Up to Power” program. Notes: 1) An enterprise is any legal entity (including, without limitation, an individual, a partnership or a corporation) and its subsidiaries. A subsidiary is any legal entity, during the time that more than 50% of its voting stock, or if no voting stock, decision-making power, is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by the enterprise.

2) On January 14, 2014, e-config was updated to allow IBM i license transfer when a donor machine has entitlement for the same or an earlier version/release of IBM i than the receiving machine; previously the donor and receiving machines were required to be entitled at the same IBM i version/release to be eligible for IBM i license transfer. Note that the donor machine cannot be at a later version/release of IBM i than the receiving machine. 2.2 Software Maintenance For each IBM i processor entitlement transferred to the receiving machine, one year of new Software Maintenance (SWMA) is included at no charge. Additional years of coverage and/or 24x7 support are available options on most models for an additional charge. SWMA is not included when transferring IBM i user entitlements. SWMA transfer terms and conditions remain unchanged. (See the International Agreement for Acquisition of Software Maintenance (INTC-6011) for more information.) When a donor machine is covered by SWMA fulfilled through AAS (or WTAAS), there may be no benefit in transferring that existing SWMA to the receiving machine because any remaining term will run concurrently with the new SWMA that comes with the IBM i license transfer, resulting in an overlap of coverage of up to one year.

Only when the existing donor machine's AAS-based SWMA has a substantial term remaining beyond one year does transferring that SWMA provide any benefit. There are no refunds or credits for SWMA coverage which was fulfilled through AAS. AAS-based SWMA can only be transferred from the donor machine to the receiving machine under the following conditions: The donor and receiving machines are within a single customer’s enterprise and both machines are located within the same country; in addition: (a) the associated IBM i entitlement is transferable and is transferred in accordance with its license terms; and (b) the entity receiving the IBM i SWMA agrees to the terms of the SWMA agreement. When the customer transfers the IBM i SWMA, the customer must also transfer a printed copy of the SWMA agreement to the entity receiving the IBM i SWMA; and (c) the donor and receiving machines must be licensed for the same operating system at the same or a more recent release level, and the customer may incur an increase in the Support Charge if the receiving machine is of a larger capacity. © IBM Corporation 2014 GI11-9824-13 3 When transferring one or more IBM i entitlements which are covered by SWMA fulfilled through a ServiceElite contract, the services channel supporting the customer can adjust the number of processors covered by IBM i SWMA on the donor and receiving machines to correspond with the IBM i entitlement transfers. 2.3 Transfer groups Donor and receiving machines and nodes which support IBM i are assigned to transfer groups which reflect their software tier.

Entitlement transfers are allowed. within groups 1, 2, and 3. within groups 4, 5, and 6.

from groups 1, 2, and 3 to group 6 (PureFlex/Flex), excluding the group 6 type/model 7895-23A. When transferring an IBM i processor entitlement from a group 1, 2 or 3 donor machine to a PureFlex or Flex node, one IBM i Unlimited user entitlement will be automatically created on the receiving PureFlex or Flex node. There can only be one IBM i Unlimited user entitlement on a machine or compute node.

If the receiving machine does not have any existing IBM i entitlement, e-config will add no- charge features for the base product entitlement along with the IBM i processor or user entitlements transferred. 2.4 Non-transferable base entitlements The following POWER5 models had these base entitlements which are not eligible to transfer:. 9406-550 (1 base license). 9406-570 (1 base license). 9406-595 (4 base licenses) Note: The POWER5 model 520 (ordered as 9405-520 or 9406-520) offered only per-processor IBM i licensing, thus there are no per-user or unlimited user entitlements available to transfer to another server. Only the POWER5 520 per-processor entitlement can be transferred.

2.5 Transferable user entitlements User entitlements eligible for transfer include:. Per 5 users or per 10 users.

In addition, customers may have acquired either a quantity of IBM i users or the IBM i Unlimited users but not both. The various user entitlements - IBM i Unlimited Collaboration users, IBM i External Access, and IBM i users (either a quantity or Unlimited) -may be transferred or retained independently. The IBM i Unlimited users entitlement must be transferred in its entirety and cannot be divided. If a customer transfers a quantity of IBM i users, all or a portion of the IBM i user entitlements may be transferred, but the user entitlements must be transferred in quantities of 5 or 10 according to the processor group of the receiving machine. 2.6 Pricing Customers must pay IBM a transfer charge for each transfer. For transfers within groups 1, 2 and 3, customers pay for each processor entitlement transferred.

For transfers within groups 4, 5 and 6, for one transfer charge, customers can transfer either (1) processor entitlements only, (2) IBM i user entitlements only, or (3) both processor entitlements and IBM i user entitlements. For transfers from groups 1, 2, or 3 to eligible group 6 machines, customers pay for each processor entitlement transferred. In addition, one Unlimited User entitlement will be automatically created on the receiving machine at no additional charge. The IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node 7895-23A (group 6) is not an eligible receiving machine for transfer from groups 1, 2, or 3. For transfers from IBM Flex System p260 Compute Node 7895-23A to any other group 6 or 5 machine (except a group 6 7895-23A target), a $17,000 (USD) per processor transfer charge will apply. © IBM Corporation 2014 GI11-9824-13 5 Customers must pay for processor group price differences if the IBM i entitlements are transferred to a machine in a higher software tier.

I have a full system backup tape. Anyone know if there is a particular library/file I can restore to look a the license keys for these LPP's.

IBM ESS requires this 'proof' before they will approve a transfer of LPP.
