Hi Alex, This is a normal situation when other TSM Customers upgrade to a new hardware. Don't know what IBM say about it but multiple customers do the samething you do over and over again without buying extra temp lic.
I recommend that you talk to your IBM TSM SE Rep and he can help you out.

It works fine. We are upgrading the entire system: new PC running Windows 2003 Server, TSM 5.5.1 and a new LTO4 library. Can I setup and install the new LTO4 library on the new server 5.5.1, and keep the old server 5.3.4 up and running the other two libraries? Eventually I want to migrate the older LTO libraries to the new server, but I don't want backups offline while I make the switch, so I need both online for a bit. Thanks! Alex
