Thanks for the help/responses. I did as suggested and copied the status.dat file to where it was looking for it and the install went clean.
Now, if someone can tell me why the "ACTIVITY LOG" query from the webadmin, has not been fixed (still forces an erroneous DOMAINNAME parm with a value that I can not get rid of, thereby making it fail)..........

I just copied my status.dat to a /tmp/license/status.dat and the update worked fine. It even deleted the /tmp/license/status.dat file & folder afterwards. I've been running 5.2.2.5 for over a week now. Some RPM install glitch that IBM hopefully fixes next version.

This file is created normally when you run the install script on the installation cd after reading and agreeing with the license agreement. I guess by creating this file by hand you agree with a license agreement you have never read/seen.
