So MQ 5.3 is out of service in Sept 2007 on unix systems.

Are there many people still on 5.3?
Will IBM flat out no support it after that date?

Thanks!

talk to your IBM sales rep about purchasing extended support...
it's available but also has special prices...

This site will be off v5.3 by the end of the year. Not sure how they're managing support in the period Sept - Dec; I suspect it involves crossing fingers!

Seriously, "critical" systems will be off v.5.3 by Q3.

Every man (or company) has his price.
