Ya, I was looking over that link earlier. 
I'm looking at going to 6.1 but it might be time to overhaul our
hardware first to get the most out if it. 
As tight as money has gotten around here it's going to be hard getting
anything approved. 
Looks like we will be running 5.5 for a couple years. 


I'm thinking about doing some bake sales and some car washes to raise
money for a new TSM server............

Howdy,

      The products are generally supported for 5 years from the date of
general availability (GA).  So, based on the link that Richard Sims
posted,
TSM Extended Edition 5.5 GA'ed 14 Dec 2007.  Support for 5 years would
show
an end of service as December 2012.

     In addition to the standard 5 years of support, it is possible to
purchase an extended service contract for an additional 3 years, which
would then take the support out to potentially December 2015.

     Please refer back to the link provided by Richard Sims from time to
time...  This is updated periodically and will eventually show the TSM
6.1
GA as well as updates for EOS for the existing TSM products.

Thanks,
Colin
