This table also indicates which target release can be specified when compiling or saving
objects on a given OS/400 system.
OS/400 Version 5 Terms and Conditions
OS/400 is included in iSeries Model 270, 8xx, and AS/400e Model 170, 6xx, 7xx, and Sxx
systems price and licensed under the International Program License Agreement (IPLA).
OS/400 Version 5 is software keyed to the designated serial number of the machine where it
is initially installed. OS400 Version 5 is licensed to operate on only that serial number
machine and may not be moved from one machine to another except in an emergency
backup situation.
Four documents are provided with the OS/400 software as proof of a valid license:
•
Proof of Entitlement (POE)
• License Information Document (LID)
• International Program License Agreement (IPLA)
• Software License Key Sheet
In the event that the designated machine is transferred (or sold), OS/400 must transfer with it.
Notify the receiving party of the program's terms, and provide the
POE, LID, IPLA, and
Software License Key Sheet documents for OS/400 to the purchaser. IBM licenses the
receiving party when that party accepts the program's license terms by initial use of the
program. Your OS/400 license is then terminated.
When ordering upgrades to software licensed under the IPLA, such as OS/400, provide a
copy of the POE to your IBM representative or IBM Business Partner to validate the license to
the software.
