I just got a new quote and it appears that we now buy the product number on a per-processor basis instead of per-point or tier. For instance to buy the Data Protection for SQL (oracle) agent for a dual processor Compaq running Intel I was told to buy two of D510ELL IBM TSM for DBS processor Lic with 10 points each. However I was only told to buy one of D5127LL IBM TSM processor lic for the TSM client for 1 point. I wish they would settle on one easy to understand price model and then track it the same way in Passport Advantage so I could tell what I bought.

A quote has 40 points shown for the Exchange protect agent maintenance, 275 points for the TSM server component maintenance. Do these points represent a quantity of one each?
