Your new Netview will not need license keys to install or run. The Tivoli
Framework
that comes with it will have a license key shipped with it, and you use
that, unless you
have other Tivoli already installed, in which case you will use that key.
Your Netview
V4 may have had a key, if it was purchased during the period when it was
shipped on
the SystemView showcase CD. That license will no longer apply, although
that license
is what got you the 50% discount on your new 5.1.
For the Nways, it depends on the version you have. Since it is a new box,
you will be
doing a new install. You should hunt around and find the keys, maybe paper,
and
maybe CDs, and re-install them on the new system after re-installing the
products.
If they were the paper kind, your Nways is probably pretty old and you
should be
upgrading to the current Nways Manager for AIX 1.2.2. I don't believe
that kind of
key can be retrieved, at any rate. License keys for 1.2 come on CDs and are
installed in iForLS, so you should be able to find the files on the system
via Smit
if you cannot find the CDs they came on.

Hallo anybody,
I would like to know, I'm currently running Netview v.4 on an old AIX
box and in the next couple of week install a brand new copy 5.1 on a
new machine. What must I do about licenses ?
Can I interrogate the current system for a license and then load it on
the new system! Also Nways will be installed on Netview 5.1 what about
license, can I also retrieve it from the current system?
Any ideas will be very welcome, thanks.
