Starting with version 5.4, TSM uses a "5 +3" life cycle, which means that
it will remain in general support for (a minimum of) 5 years. After that,
you can, at your option, purchase a maintenance extension for another 3
years. Thus since TSM 5.5 GA'd in December of 2007, you can count on it
being supported via regular maintenance through at least December 2012. As
Dwight pointed out, you can consult the IBM product life cycle page for
more detailed information, but no official EOS date has been announced for
5.5 yet.

Versions 5.3 and earlier has a "3 + 2" life cycle.

Best regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
