We're still using it too - but management cut some sort of "deal" with CA
("we'll give you all our products for a low, low price but don't look
beneath that clause over there, OK?") , and I feel we'll be running CA-7
before long. Ironically, we originally got Beta-42 because it was our
first scheduler, and it was a lot easier for our scheduling group to
understand than guess what? Sometimes management's mantra is "cheaper =
technically superior". I think they were also convince that they could
get some server-side scheduler out of the deal too, though, so it's not
all money related.

We're still using it. It's still simple to use and install, and still
works very well. I think the product name is now officially ASG
Workload Scheduler.
