• Any of the operating environment per-processor licenses may be upgraded toward an operating environment license at a higher price; 100% credit will be offered for the original license
• Same methodology used for license trade-ins across platforms
• All customers may upgrade to a higher-level OE regardless of whether the license is under a service and support contract

• Allows customers to move to a higher OE socket license or higher-level OE for OpenVMS on Integrity servers
• Process:
  1. Customer orders the new OE that is required 2. Field applies an upgrade credit on the OE the customer is upgrading
  3.The original license is terminated and must be returned to HP and removed from support (if covered)
  4.Support is added to the order for the new license and added to the customer contract
