Sorry, certainly wasn't trying to do anything shady. I know that the licenses for WDz/RAD/RDz products are non-transferable and expire. I had thought though that VA PL/I 2.1 and VA Cobol 3.07 for the Windows platform were non-expiring "boxed" products that could be transferred. But you're right, I should have specified the platform I'd meant... Windows. Again, didn't think it'd be a problem for Windows, so the question still stands. If that's against the rules also, then certainly, forget it. Thank you for not shooting me down completely!! :) Many thanks! -Ben ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] on behalf of Clark Morris [cfmpub...@ns.sympatico.ca] Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2013 7:25 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: VisualAge On 9 Apr 2013 03:31:26 -0700, in bit.listserv.ibm-main you wrote: >Benjamin Huntsman wrote: > >>Was wondering, might anyone here have an old copy of VisualAge PL/I 2.1 >>and/or VisualAge Cobol 3.07 that they'd be willing to part with for some >>reasonable compensation? > >Did you asked IBM?
