Legally Running z/OS on Hercules   Message List

Re: Legally Running z/OS on Hercules

Not to fan the flames, but if Scott wants to ask whether anyone
running Hercules has obtained a license from IBM to run z/OS I think a
simple response of yes, no, or silence is sufficient.

Academically speaking, if I wanted to know the answer to that question
I'd expect the better avenue would be to directly ask the user
community that is keenly interested in this issue instead of trying to
hunt someone down within the behemoth that is IBM who likely doesn't
have any knowledge whatsoever about the topic.

People DO run z/OS. Getting a License is the only issue. IBM decided to sue PSI, and stopped issuing / renewing Flex-ES licenses, stranding a lot of...

Scott, Firstly the rules have changed. The case was that if you had a P/390 you were allowed to run the software on the physical PC with the P/390 card in it....
