Yes - most all HP and third-party software must have a license upgrade to run on the new system, plus maintenance charges. You might consider upgrading to a (large) production CPU with no utilities and a small system for program development, compilers, debuggers, etc to save . Some third-parties do not charge (Robelle, 3k Associates, Adager, (?)).
