I would expect them to provide the key, but I suspect that if you hit a bug you're on your own.

Certainly not me. If you're living in Canada, I would rather ask 'what weed did you smoked today?' ;-D >Yes, I know SAS 6./09 has been out of support for 17 years ... our customer >never got round to upgrading and is now getting occasional 0C4 abends since >the upgrade to z/OS 2.3. Can they get assistance from SAS by sending in the 0C4 dumps? Side question: how are they going around the licensing and key management of SAS? I have worked with SAS in a previous life/century/planet and AFAIK, their license are limited / useful for a certain period and they only supply it for SUPPORTED system. Of course, they may got a special waiver.
