RSCS is and will continue to be available for all supported z/VM releases. If you are on z/VM 5.2, RSCS 3.2 is available. Note, z/VM 5.2 end of service is now one year away (April 30, 2009). If you are on z/VM 5.3, RSCS Function Level 5.3.0 is available. Same product, different pricing / licensing agreement. Best Regards, Les Geer IBM z/VM and Linux Development
