The nice thing about being IBM was that they could and did do pretty much
whatever they wanted to the hardware. At Sun we had a 43xx series that
delayed the move of SunNET to building 14 because IBM _had_ to be the
people to move the machine. Now they do insist even if there isn't anything
tricky but the point in my initial response was that any type of "license
assurance" devices they might employ would not be a problem for legitimate
owners because the maintenance contract typically required IBM Field
Service to handle any actual moves in order for the contract to stay valid.
