Excellent. Do you need to pay the vendor every x period? Or is that license just an once-off annoyance? >The problem is that it is running on a old Windows server; which is being >decommissioned. And the software apparently will not run a current Windows >server. I got burned by a similar situation. Some hardware broken down, but luckily I could scavenge some 'newish' hardware. I tried to install windoze 2008, XP and 98, only got a nasty BSOD during initial phase of installation despite fiddling around with BIOS settings. Installing a newer windoze worked, but I soon ran into compatibility issues, just like you. So, if your windoze server's hardware crash, you may have some recovery problem (hopefully AFTER you retired ... <grin> ) Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
