It is possible, even usual in many shops, to continue to use machines

The inability to obtain more storage or to activate a spare, already

Hardware memory upgrade MES for z10BC was discontinued after June
2012--coincident with marketing withdrawal. If you have pre-planned memory
installed but not activated, you can still get the microcode memory activation
MES until June 2013. But, the price has been jacked up so high ($8K/GB) that it
might as well not be available at all!
