Interesting question. I don't know the answer... I always thought that the licenses were stored in the TSM database, as can be seen from the output of "select * from LICENSES" & "select * from LICENSE_DETAILS", but you're right, when you restore a TSM server onto another host, you have to re-install the license files.
I don't see any files out there in the TSM server directory that might be license files... Anyone... Anyone... Buhler?

Are the licenses stored in an internal table within the database, or are they stored in an external file. The reason I ask, is that I moved a TSM server from older hardware to newer hardware, and after the move, I had to go register the licenses. This wasn't a big deal, because I just re-registered the licenses. But I was just curios why after I loaded the TSM database from the old server onto the new server, the licenses didn't automatically transfer. Thanks in advance. ~James
