The point system was a relative value for a component residing on a machine with of 1 of 3 tiers.
Forty Points is a tier 1 NT system, 4 or less CPUs, for Exchange. The 275 is a mixture of Server and client code I am guessing. Your quote will make sense if you get the input numbers and the points for each component. The nice part is the points system is going away, the bad part is the new replacement, CPU based, is even more confusing. Paul D.

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?
