Thanks George,
I still don't have a clear answer, after April to install MRC do I have to buy a license from Mirantis for new PAW installations? can I continue to download docker without buying the license?
on your link there is:
" C) After April 30th, 2023, customers will not be able to get support, updates or patches from Microsoft or Mirantis for Mirantis Container Runtime unless they purchase a license from Mirantis."
the old installs still work so the post you pointed says, but if i need a docker update, because some OS or PAW security update requires a new docker version what happens? Do I have to buy a mirantis license? yes, given the point C.
I expect a clear answer from IBM if I need to buy additional software in addition to its products

Hello IBM,
I read this news at this link https://www.ibm.com/support/
particularly
"This change impacts the ability of IBM Planning Analytics on-premises customers to download Mirantis Runtime Engine. Mirantis Runtime Engine is required to deploy Planning Analytics Workspace on Windows Server 2016 and 2019."
"Contact Mirantis if you require support for Mirantis Runtime Engine to run Planning Analytics Workspace. "
- I would like to know if the already installed PAW product continues to work after April without any modification?
- I would like to know if after April for new installations of PAW I also have to buy the mirantis license too?
- I would like to know if after April for PAW updates I have to buy the mirantis license ?
thanks
Massimo
