<official answer> Your obligations are set forth in the base license agreements and the License Information Document that came with your VM order. If needed, consult legal counsel to help you interpret those documents. </official answer> <unofficial answer> If you used z/VM 4.1 or later, you're fine. Under the International Program Licensing Agreement terms and conditions, your license exists unless IBM terminates it. The license set forth under the IBM Customer Agreement (e.g. z/VM 3.1 or earlier, z/OS, many VM program products) is continually renewed on a monthly basis. As long as you pay the MLC, the license remains in effect. When you no longer have a license, you must destroy all copies of the licensed code. </unofficial answer> Alan Altmark z/VM and Linux on System z Consultant IBM System Lab Services and Training ibm.com/systems/services/labservices office: 607.429.3323 mobile; 607.321.7556 alan_altm...@us.ibm.com IBM Endicott
