I stand corrected.
Not Good old Microsoft updates.
Looking like Desktop Central may have been the culprit.
However, cannot prove as of yet.
Anyone else in the group experience an issue similar to this?

Same licenses. I highly doubt that's the problem.
Dollars to donuts, a Microsoft "fix" broke it. I tell our customers they
can run that code until it breaks, then they will get ACS. We won't even try to debug a problem with it.

ACS is working fine.
Does the older IBM Client Access for Windows use the same license as ACS or a different license?

Paul,
Did you upgrade IBM_i to a newer version recently? Say, in the last 70 days?
Both iACS and the older IBM Client Access for Windows check for a valid license before starting a 5250 session. Perhaps you somehow missed or did not properly enter the new license keys for 5770-XW1 (Client Access Family)?
(they change with each Release.)
Use WRKLICINF to find out ...
Meanwhile, you and your users can use one of the many free TN5250 emulators, or your company can buy a "site license" for Mochasoft for something like US
$250 for unlimited seats ... ;-) And, in the meantime, you can download
and install and use the free trial version of Mochasoft TN5250 ... from
http://www.mochasoft.dk ...
Hope that helps,
Mark S. Waterbury

Most have been migrated to ACS, a few stragglers remain.
Multiple PCs
Both Wn7 and Win10
Multiple LPARs
No updates applied to LPARS or PCs, to the best of our knowledge.
Firewall?
Security-Group Policy?
Any thoughts from the group?
Thank You
