    Hi,

    As a reminder, if you have a Power 9: Activation Features Withdrawal for Selected P9 Models.

    I've got confirmation from IBM: starting on 01/01/2025, CPU and/or RAM activation won't be available for listed Power 9 models.

    Please note this also includes V7R1 activation, for selected models.

    Time to prepare the wishlist for Christmas? ;)

    That will mark the beginning of the end of support . 
    EOS of POWER9 and announcement of POWER11 are on the horizon.
    It is the technological circle of life.
