I would think that if you had a contract in place and were not requesting any changes to the contract, the T's would stay the same. If the contract was based on machine serial number, address, OS, etc. and you were requesting a change, then they could do this to you. Sometimes they try to

Interjecting some useless information. Yes, MVS data set names are case insensitive, e.g. Upper Case, so the "File System to Mount" is Upper case, so the name of the MVS data set containing the USS files is Upper Case, but the name of the USS directory name to mount it to IS case insensitive.

I think you have got 'the right number'. An LPAR's Capacity is a floating value. It all depends on how you define it in the LPAR profile and how you let WLM manage it. This means that there is a value for the capacity that PR/SM will allow an LPAR to consume at any moment in time. This amount

? That's pretty standard in every mainframe license contract I've ever seen. Source escrow is a major PITA to do, but I've always had to do it for just this reason. OK, wait. Not for a product that gets sunsetted; that's an oversight in contracts! But for vendors that die, it's in the contract.
