OK, now I'm confused all over again. There are lots of v6.4 clients in
use, but you are saying that, unless we license Tivoli Storage Manager
Suite for Unified Recovery 6.4 (whatever that is) then our v6.4 servers
(aka 6.3.3+) will have EOL on April 30, 2017?
I was confused back when v6.4 was announced with a v6.3.3 server
component, and now I'm even more confused.
Bottom line: Our servers are at 6.3.5.100. Will they be EOL on April 30,
2017? I see both yes and no answers below in this thread. This confusion
is interfering with planning. A complete clarification would be
appreciated, since IBM introduced this confusion back with v6.4.
