They didn't know (bad vendor, no donut) about the change or spaced it... and didn't send licenses... so you're sitting there with disks in a new server, all ready to load the OS as usual... and the OS can't find any disks. that sounds like a VAR problem. if I'm buying from a VAR, I expect the system to arrive as ordered and configured. As we buy direct from HP (big corp), I *ALWAYS* go through the entire 'quickspec' page on any HP gear, carefully studying the options and SKU's, any such licenses should be clear there. For example, I *always* get the full ILO license. -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast
