Just a FWIW.

The following are links which Jennie Hou referred me to regarding licensing and HP IP.

www.hp.com/go/e3000                                                                                                          ßhomepage for all the communications

http://www.hp.com/products1/evolution/e3000/hw_lic_update.html           ßlicensing information index page

http://www.hp.com/products1/evolution/e3000/download/e3000upgpolfaqs.pdf  ß this FAQ hopefully can answer some of the questions you have asked

My understanding is that all aspects of the licensing requirements other than the Return To Use, which ended 12/31/2010, are still in place.

Don't shoot the messenger :)

Who says it doesn't have an OS?  By "no license", Brett surely means that the previous owner didn't pay to have the license transferred.

There are many valid reasons for this.  For instance, imagine the server wasn't under HP support contract up until the minute they decommissioned it.  As a result, trying to get HP to transfer the license would be so much work that you may as well pull your own teeth with a dull set of needle-nosed pliers by entering your mouth through your ear canal!

A server without an OS isn't "running". It can be "on" or "powered up", but not "running".
