Have z900-101 + z900-102 and CBU to a z900-103 for each. All vendors let us CBU (not to be comfused with Capacity-on-Demand). Most will give us the keys or make the keys so they will not be checked on run on either system even though the product is only licensed on one machine. A few make us call them to get the new key in the event we must CBU. There is only one vendor, Decision Technology, who says if we are on CBU for more than a few days, they want a surcharge by week. All the vendors permit the yearly test to be done with no additional charge. We have IBM , CA, BMC, Vanguard, CASI, Decision Technology, Phoenix, ERA, Sterling Commerce, MacKinney, etc. jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
