A heads up for everybody. I had a Win2003 (32 bit)  7.5.2 server that we 
upgraded to Win2008 R2 (64 bit) 7.6.2. We re-formatted the drive and 
upgraded. Same DNS name, same IP address. I saved copies of /index, /mm 
and /res, and overwrote what the installer put in.  I still had problems 
starting up, but Tech Support worked those out. What we (both Tech Support 
and I) didn't expect was a licensing issue.

Obviously I had to move my licenses from the old hostid to a new host d. 
No problem; done that before. This time, however, the new enabler code 
would not work; I got an error saying that this enabler was for a 
different platform. WTF? After verifying both old hostid and new hostid 
with Licensing, and verifying that both the old hostid and new hostid were 
for the Windows platform, Licensing told me my problem was that the 
license bundle that I had (the LAC) was "too old", and that's what was 
causing my problems. They said I needed to get my vendor (CDW) to work 
with EMC Licensing to "upgrade" my license bundle from it's current, 
obsolete, no longer offered bundle ... to a new one. THEN when I had a new 
bundle (I guess a new LAC?), I could get an enabler that would work.

All news to me.

My bundle is maybe 4 or 5 years old, from when we first started using 
Networker. We renew support every year, of course, and but new client 
licenses, etc, as needed.  I had no idea that the enabler codes would fail 
to work, if the license bundle was too old.

Luckily this is my first 7.6.2 install, at a remote site. I shudder to 
think what would happen at my main site, with 130 clients ...

Am I the only one seeing this issue, when upgrading to 7.6.2?
