Lost license key after IPL

It seems like you did not enter the license key successfully. Most of the products that are licensed under IBM usually cease being functional after 70 days have passed without the license key being entered, and you have taken whole year to do so. But for the base operating system environment, it may take more than 70 days for the server to be IPL'd. But whichever may be the case, you needed to have seen the system operator message that tells you that your grace period has expired before your application was IPL'd. In case you do not have a server, then you will need to rebuild it from the backup tapes that you were using to store it.
