In order to upgrade a 917LX 8 user license to a 927LX 20 user license there are four options. 1) A2485A $1,880 if you are upgrading a system with Image/SQL and Allbase/SQL 2) A2487A $1,550 if you are upgrading a system with Image/SQL 3) A2489A $1,275 if you are upgrading a system with Allbase/SQL 4) A2491A $450 if you are upgrading a system with MPE/IX FOS only. These prices may be a bit old but there is no chassis upgrade involved. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: 917LX to 927LX Upgrade--What's the story? Author: Dana Collins <[log in to unmask]> at HMS-Internet Date: 1/12/96 2:01 PM Hello everybody, We sold a 917LX to a customer of ours in Texas. He would now like it to be upgraded to a 927LX. From what I understood, all this meant is that HP would go go to his site, work some magic on the CPU (probably prgramming some ROM with a special HP code) and the license is upgraded from an 8-user 917LX to a 20-user 927LX. The CE thought that was easy enough, but the sales guy that I have to send the P.O. to says that this is not the case. He says that I have to swap the entire chassis in order to upgrade this thing. According to my configuration guides and past experience, these were the exact same boxes with the only difference being that one had a 917LX badge and the other had a 927LX badge. Is there something that I'm missing here? Who is correct? Thanks in Advance, Dana Collins Abtech Systems, Inc.
