Chris,
I forgot to mention: On a same-owner, new-CPU transfer of a
layered-product license, a cost-free transfer can only be done if the new
CPU is at the same, or a lower, price tier when compared with the previous
CPU. This is most significant in the VAX world where there are a lot of
price tiers. In the PDP-11 family, there are only two tiers, and I *think*
the 11/83 and 11/84 (and, presumably, /93 and /94) are the sole occupants
of the high-price tier. If you go from a low-tier machine to a high-tier
machine, you have to pay the price difference.
