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.
