To check the license status of your server run a "audit lic", wait until it finishes, then run "query lic". Yes, you need to purchase licenses for any clients you plan to back up to TSM. It's based on CPU, and they are all the same, whether it's Windows or AIX. You buy a license for each CPU on the systems you backup. If you are running TSM Enterprise Edition, you need IBM part number D51MFLL which lists for just under $500 per CPU.
