Informix migration from 486 to Pentium maybe a FAQ (sorry if so!)

I have a client whose machine I'm about to upgrade to either a Pentium or a twin pentium, from a 486 running SCO Unix. I realise that a twin pentium will not be directly supported by informix; I understand that I have to buy a twin cpu aware version, as well as the SCO mpx extensions. My concern is that the Informix won't run on the pentium as it will detect the presence of a pentium rather than a 486, and decide that it violates the licensing agreement. Is this so? If it is, what do I have to do/pay to upgrade the informix, please. TIA Graham
