Perfectly fine to run it under Hercules on the processor z/VM is
licensed to.
And how would you get IBM to license z/VM 6.1 to you when they know
that
you don't have a z10? IBM is not under any obligation to license their
software to anybody. Now, if IBM ever said "NO" simply because "we
don't
like you", that might be a very interesting lawsuit.
I'm not denying that the original poster may not have a legal way to
do it.
I am specifically objecting to Edward Martin's Point 1. There's a
perfectly legal way to run z/VM under Hercules. Not that you'd
necessarily want to. But I did run 64-bit z/VM 4.4 on my H70, and I
might be the only person who can say that.
