After installing the Software License PTF mentioned in other replies do GO LICPGM Option 5.
From there you need to do take the options to ‘Work with licensed programs for target release’ to mark which LICPGMs should be upgraded & added and ‘Work with software agreements’ and accept all of the licenses but you also need to take the option to ‘Allocate additional space for LIC’. If you don’t the Install hangs and you have to do a manaul shutdown and restart to get the system back up.

We are planning to upgrade all 3 to V5R3. Below is what I’ve found – Mostly off the IBM Infocenter website (for both V5R2 and V5R3.)

1. Read the Memo to Users for both releases as mentioned.

2. Be sure any IFS objects convert to TYPE 2 after the upgrade.

3. If you have a 2761, 8 port internal modem card, it must be replaced with the newer 4 port (2804 I believe) which means you’ll need an addtional IOA slot.

4. Review the PSP’s for PTF’s. You’ll also need the Software Agreement PTF’s for V5R1 and V5R2 CD (SK3T-8163-00) Apply the appropriate PTF BEFORE the upgrade – it should be included with your V5R3 Software media.

5. If you’re swapping out any LAN cards (i.e 2838′s for 2760′s) Keep in mind they do not support SNADS.

Make sure all licensed program listed in the auto install that require license agreements are noted as such before the install begins. During the auto install process the disk environment is changed before the agreements are checked and if the install process abends, you will have to reconfigure the disk settings. Have the ibm help number available just in case.

Whether it is possible – I don’t know.
I remember a whole raft of issues being reported v5r2-v5r3 on the RPGIV Yahoo forum about 6 months ago, definitely recommend reviewing the archives – issues like removal of JDK 1.2, InfoPrint server failures, hardware no longer supported (eg. modems), CPYTOIMPF changed…..

For instance, there are certain hardware and software features that are no longer supported in the newer releases of OS/400.
