HI Mark, Looks like it will require a HW/SW update after all. I created a deck after making the OS Config changes, and at the top of the deck is an ID statement, with one of the parameters being "TOK" with a pile of numbers/date/time and so forth. It's completely different from the original IOCP deck. I guess every time any Production IODF is created, a new token goes with it.

A good way to check is to create an IOCP deck. If you did you wouldn't see any of that information in there. It think the answer to the 2nd question is "no".
