I can not tell you why they do things. But if you have maint on the 3.1 they
should just upgrade you to tsm.
They did have a special almost 50% sale for upgrading to tsm earlier this
year. And they said in that special that it was a limited one time option.
Another aspect that seems different for Tivoli vs IBM is that Tivoli will
ship new versions for those on maint.
