- Technically, the answer is YES, with some restrictions....

- VMSecure 4.4a will initialize on VM/ESA 1.1. After a rather short and random
- time period it will shut itself down and complain about it not being licenced
- for R1.1 of VM/ESA. I'm sure you could write a quick and dirty mod to the
- diagnose x'00' code in CP that would return the program product bitmap for
- R1.0 of VM/ESA if the caller was VMSecure (or any SCI product). I suspect
- that this would keep VMSecure (or any other SCI product) up indefinitely.
-
- As has been discussed previously on this list SCI REQUIRES you to PURCHACE
- their "/E" products if you want to run their stuff on ESA1.1 even though
- the products that run on VM/XA SP2.1 WILL run on ESA1.0 with the ESA feature.
- I suggest you search the archives of this list for the previous (HEATED)
- discussions on this topic.....
