According to IBM rules old version is supported one year after new version 
hits the market (this is not only for Tivoli products). In some 
circumstances support can be prolonged but never is shortened.
This will lead to the question "how often new version comes out?". Answer 
is not precise but approx. every 1-1.5 years. Thus total time a version is 
supported is 2-3 years (1-2 when is current and until new version comes 
out + 1 year support before becoming obsolete).

Hello TSM veterans!

Is there anybody out there who knows how long a version of TSM is 
supported
by Tivoli?

Thanks in advance!
