The increased use of cloud servers within hybrid operations have left organizations that leverage IBM i software with traditional licensing mechanisms vulnerable to a loss of licensing, data and software availability. Even on premises, technology with physical serial numbers lack the flexibility to move from server to server while maintaining licensing.
Learning Objectives: • Understand the difference between the license types LPP and VSN and what use cases they cover • Which technologies are available to move LPARs to other servers (LPM, SRR) • Is your IBM i system vulnerable for losing licenses or not • Best practices to avoid losing your licensed state
