So does this mean that ALL 4.1 clients MUST be upgraded to at least 4.2
PRIOR to upgrading the server to 5.1.x?
-or- can you get away with the clients at 4.1 and the server at 5.1.x?

Thanks!

Just to clarify: V4.2 client are supported/compatible with the V5 server
(not V4.1).

Also, it should not be inferred that the combination of V4.2 client and V5
server will be supported after V4.2 goes out of support. Once V4.2 is out
of support, it's out of support.

V4 clients are supported with the v5 server but you will want to
upgrade to the v5 client to take advantage of the bug fixes and new
features.

Many folks have already upgraded to v5.  The current level is 5.1.5.  I
assume that if people are continuing to run TSM they have or will
upgrade.

The implication of staying at v4 is that you are running a mission
critical business process with no vendor support.

Yes, there is an upgrade cost.
