Powerhouse license transfers

[Robert Deskin]

Doesn’t much matter what Cognos had. And it likely doesn’t matter what IBM had since the sale to Unicom. The best bet is to contact Unicom.

But keep in mind, as is the case with most software, the product was licensed to the buyer, not sold, and as such, the rights cannot be transferred without the permission of the owner, who is now Unicom.

If you'd sell an HP 3000 that had Powerhouse installed, was there a way to transfer that software license to the new buyer? I remember some kind of license transfer fee, but I cannot recall what it was for.
