-
- They will run under ESA 1.0 & ESA 370-feature.
-
- They will NOT however run under ESA 1.1, in fact VMBACKUP 5.3C which
- we run here will run for 15 minutes then craps out with a message to
- the effect of "You are not licensed to run with the ESA 1.1 feature"
- or something like that.
-
- In order to run your products under ESA 1.1 you will have to fork out
- some major dinero for the "new" line of VMCENTER II products which
- are distinguished by a /E on the end.. IE, VMBACKUP/E etc.
-
- From what I've seen of these "new" products they are essentially the
- same as the old ones with a few new whistles and bells. Oh, that
- and they allow you to run under ESA 1.1
-
- There is no *real* reason the older products can't work under ESA 1.1
- except they check the results from DIAG(0) and crash and burn if
- they find ESA 1.1 bits.

- We had a big discussion about this gouging a few months ago.
