Wes,

We've been running 6.x for three years now (not 7.0)..now I have to tell my
management and legal department that we're not licensed?   Geesh.

There was never any error message in Networker saying we were doing anything
illegal? Also, despite a support contract with Legato, we were not contacted
in July about this;  I can only guess it was hidden in the media update kit
somewhere ??   Where is this documented or is a Legato announcement all that
is needed to change the 6.x license agreement?
