Have your client's legal department review their support contract before they do anything. I wouldn't install any withdrawn IBM product without a written addendum to my support contract detailing what impact the product will have on my support. I haven't looked at a support contract, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a clause that terminates the contract in the situation you describe. -----Original Message----- From: Horan, Patrice [mailto:PHoran@friedmancorp.com] Sent: Thursday, 29 November, 2001 8:44 AM To: 'midrange-l@midrange.com' Subject: Are you risking termination of software support if you install OV /400 over V5R1? One of our clients plans to upgrade to V5R1 and install OV/400 over it. Comtech told this client that one of their customers had installed OV/400 over V5R1. The customer contacted IBM software support about V5R1 problems. IBM asked if they had installed OV/400. The customer said yes, and IBM immediately terminated their software support. I thought installing OV400 "at your own risk" meant that if you had problems, you couldn't expect IBM to help fix them. I would have expected IBM to tell the customer to call back if the problems still existed after removing OV/400. So exactly what is at risk should they install OV/400 over V5R1?
