You can  buy license for the smallest z9BC and use the same code on 
2064-2C16  bought on second-hand market. Or several machines. Or without 
buying any  license, just pay your friendly sysprog for copy of the tapes...
It's legal  issue, not technical one.

You end paying for all MSUs in service and support. Creatively
you can reduce the charges by moving the ISV software around or unloading  
the print servers to AIX. 
 
Guess about the only time I've every loaned anybody software was when a  
local service bureau was on it's way out and had lost many of it's people and  
had 
a big lightning enema. IBM had the service contract but the customer hadn't  
done maint in a while and their version of ICKDSF wouldn't format the new dasd 
 so I cut them a copy of SAICKDSF and gave it to the SE on the account. 
Paying  for or loaning IBM tapes is illegal in US-Property of IBM. Seen people 
fired for  bringing in unlicensed software to large shops.
