Anyone found a way round the limit of 8 concurrent TSO users when
running under z/OS.e.


I am surprised to see this in a public forum because my recollection is
that if you do get "round the limit" it would violate the terms and
conditions under which z/OS.e is being used. The way "round the limit" is
to purchase z/OS not z/OS.e.

I'm not a lawyer, but I see differences between breaking the rules and circumventing them. They have a problem with limit of 8 concurrent TSO connections. They don't want to zip some loadmodules to raise the limit to 100. They looks > for the software which provide equivalent or similar functionality. What's wrong with that ?

I don't read it this way, the phrasing of the question tends to how to get more than 8 TSO users. 
With what else than TSO can you have TSO users? The sentence is slightly similar to questions in 
"alt." newsgroups, asking for a "crack to break the limitation of ...". If the 
question was not intended this way, it was at least eligible for more than one interpretation, as 
read by me, Peter and others.

I am pleased to read that all the responders diverted their answers into the 
only correct way, to find legal functional equivalents.

IMHO it's a matter of interpretation. I assumed that nobody would ask on public forum how to break the limitations both technical and legal. Those who answered providing product names or solutions like ftp2JES interpreted it same way. "Found way round the limt" - my english is poor, but it is not "break the limit", rather "circumvent the limit".

BTW: Isn't it signal for IBMers ? Dear IBM, your customers like z/OS.e, but they want more TSO users. They are willing to PAY for that. They buy ISV prodcut in place of TSO. What about "Additional TSO 10 users pack" ? Wouldn't it be possible to SELL it ? I smell money here. IMHO it doesn't require too much programming to prepare such software product.
