In the 'old days', it non-Enterprise was limited to 18 slots and 2 or 3 drives. It may have changed. You could have the hardware there, but TSM would just not use it. Getting the 'Enterprise' license also now days allows DRM if I remember correctly.

We currently have a IBM 3583 library with 2 lto1 drives and 2 columns installed (36 slots) Running TSM 5.1.92. Question I have is, can we just get another column (18 slots) and only use 3 and stay under the enterprise line? Or does just having the extra column put us over whether we use it or not?
