  17. Well, I got it straight from Sun - from our regional software maintenance contact.
  18. I asked *specifically* about transferability of the license when buying a used
  19. system, which I was in the process of doing.  She said the most recently licensed
  20. version of SunOS for that CPU was transferred with the CPU at time of sale.
