Licensing will now validate FOCUS based upon your expiration date and the serial number of the hardware you are running on. Failure to validate will prevent FOCUS from starting. Following installation you will need to request an IBICPUID module zapped with your renewal date and hardware information. When you open the support request, please provide the output of the system command d m=cpu along with your FOCUS version. FLICENSE is no longer used for licensing and will eventually be deprecated and removed. ====================================================================== Supported Platforms IBM z/OS V2R4, V2R5 64-bit on zSeries ====================================================================== Supported Third-party Software Database CA Datacom 15.x CA IDMS 19.x IBM DB2 for z/OS 11.x, 12.x IBM IMS DB 14.x, 15.x Software AG Adabas 8.x Teradata RDBMS 14.x, 15.x, 16.x ====================================================================== TIBCO Product Compatibilities ibi(TM) FOCUS(R) 9.2.0 ====================================================================== Documentation Documentation for this and other TIBCO products is available on the TIBCO Documentation site.
