So far the earliest is V3R6M0. Since that is after "Version 1 Release 3" I

What is interesting is finding vendor supplied programs with V4R1M0 and a
TEXT_DESCRIPTION of "(C) 2024...". Bet you can't guess it's a vendor we're
knocking upside the head to get tested for 7.6, eh? I suppose they could
be generating on ancient stuff and restoring on newer to test.

We've been on Sec40 for over a decade, basically as soon as I managed to work the Sec40-unfriendly hacks out of QuestView (and that was probably before V3R2 was out).

And I think we've had at least one box up to Sec50.

There's nothing in QuestView that crashes under V4R4 (the worst-case scenario is that it degrades gracefully), and nothing that (if you have the current release, in the V5R2-and-up compatible version) isn't fully compatible with OS versions up to at least V7R5 (and probably R6 as well).

So if there's a vendor-supplied program on your system that *doesn't* like your OS release, or doesn't like Sec40 at your OS release, then the vendor was just being sloppy.
