ok, guys...
some minutes ago I got a reply from ralf that the procedure works as described.
the document he sent sounds a bit less dangerous (as it actually may be), but it involves the mentioned procedure.
just for the record...
-greetings, markus-

Thanks again for all the information.
I've just bought a Pulsar II from eBay, and will see what arrives with it. (A "massive software bundle" it says here.)
The whole EEPROM thing sounds interesting, shall we say. As has been commented, the problem with transfers is that it's much easier to duplicate data than destroy it, so I guess it's possible that a transfer to board B can require a permanent erasure of the licence on board A at the hardware level. (But would that mean that it would be impossible to transfer back?)
I'm on three OasysPCI's now but have never ever used a Pulsar. Adventure awaits, I'm sure.

as mentioned, it's a concern only to the seller...
But
any transfer of whichever licence
will erase all licences on the respective 'source' board
the seller,too, will receive new serials for all remaining items, otherwise the procedure would be just a time-consumimg joke
cheers, Tom

there'll be no eeprom measures needed for the card to be registered to you and for you to get the keys that the card already has.
