My problem is not if the client is still supported. It is that we had ordered the client license against a windows ADSM/TSM server. And the operating server for the backups is running on windows. The question is do they still support using a windows server.
Len - I don't pretend to understand TSM licensing any more, given how far it's gone toward the ouija board boundary of reality. But B/A TSM clients in general connect to TSM servers in general, as stated in the client manual; and that certainly includes z/OS -> Windows. And, given a client-server pair, there has to be licensing in play. Don't expect what you've found for licensing methodology in one release to carry over into another release. Having been able to look up a feature code in the past won't necessarily pertain to contemporary licensing. Look to the ADSM-L archives for recent discussions of licensing approaches per the release you're looking at: things constantly change in that arena. Richard
