There's a file on cbttape.org, File841, that allows programs compiled
with CA-Optimizer to continue to execute without recompiling and without
needing the Optimizer run time libraries.

The real question is "do they have a contractual right to run the
programs after the license is terminated?"
I don't know the answer, but that is the real question. If the answer
is yes, then if the programs do not continue to work, they have a
legal beef with CA. If the answer is no, then even if they continue to
work, they are risking embarrassment and damages if they continue to
run the programs.
That's a question they ought to be able to answer by looking at their
agreement with CA.

Subject: Eliminating CA-Optimizer
We support an old OS/390 (yep!) system that is slowly being eliminated.
To cut costs, the customer is asking about eliminating CA-Optimizer.
1) Would all the Cobol programs require re-compiling?
2) Or, will the run-time library continue to work once the license is
cancelled?
