Such behavior is more than expected. Where 4.2.1 is maintenance release to
version 4.2 you are currently at v4.1. If you are not eligible for 4.2,
i.e. have not purchased it you lack the CD-media with licenses.
The correct path should be 4.1.2 -> 4.2 -> 4.2.1.
If you have valid maintenance contract Tivoli automatically ships new
versions. If the maintenance has expired you stay at what do you have and
are eligible only for maintenance releases and patches until your last
version goes out of service.

Here's a tidbit that may or may not apply to you. ( if you upgraded from
media distributed by Tivoli ( i.e. CDROM ) go ahead and ignore this )

We tried upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1 here from the upgrade available on
the tivoli website ( specific URL thankfully forgotten ).

This is bad. B.A.D. There was appearantly a major difference in the way
that lic files are setup from 4.1.X to 4.2.X, and 4.1.X lics are never
going to register with a 4.2 server.

Our solution per many hours on the phone with support. Back down to 4.1.4.

If you didn't do the upgrade from the download, and instead installed it
from CDROM or something, please leeme know as we now have the media are
considering making the change to 4.2.1

Perhaps I mishandled the upgrade. I went from 4.1.2 -> 4.2.0 -> 4.2.1
