Before installing Adabas, ensure that the host operating system is at the minimum required level. Complete information on the z/VM platforms supported by Software AG and Adabas is provided at this link: http://www.softwareag.com/Corporate/products/bis/platforms/default.asp.
The following fixes are required to support license key validation for Adabas 8 under z/VM:
Release 510: UM31976 available 02/16/2007 (1000 )

Note:

Software AG provides Adabas support for the operating system versions supported by their respective manufacturers. Generally, when an operating system provider stops supporting a version of an operating system, Software AG will stop supporting that operating system version.
Although it may be technically possible to run a new version of Adabas on an old operating system, Software AG cannot continue to support operating system versions that are no longer supported by the system’s provider.
If you have questions about support, or if you plan to install Adabas on a release, version, or type of operating system other than those included at the link above, consult Software AG technical support to determine whether support is possible, and under what circumstances.
