Reminder: IBM Now Charges Media Cost When Upgrading to i 7.1 or i 6.1

Posted on by Joe Hertvik

A few years ago, IBM started assessing a media charge for customer IBM i operating system upgrades. Where the media used to be free, you now have to be pay for it.

The cost I have is $118/per machine but check with IBM or your business partner for your exact cost. Downloads are still free.

As you start working on V5R4 upgrades, keep in mind that IBM now charges for physical media. So you’ll need to account for that if you want to install from media.
