Prepare software agreements for transfer of ownership

If you are transferring a server or logical partition to a new owner, use the Work with Licensed Programs menu to transfer ownership of the Start of changeV5R4End of change software agreements.

This task is performed by IBM® Business Partners or anyone who intends to transfer ownership of an entire server or logical partition with Start of changeV5R4End of change installed to a new owner. This is the final task before the server or logical partition is powered down.
  1. On the command line, type GO LICPGM and press Enter. The Work with Licensed Programs display appears.
  2. From the Work with Licensed Programs (LICPGM) menu, select option 31 (Prepare software agreements for transfer of ownership) and press Enter. A confirmation display appears. Continuing with the task will power down the server or logical partition.

The new owner accepts the software agreements during the initial program load (IPL) to enable the server or logical partition to be used.
