The IBM requirement is a true up once a year, on your renewal anniversary. However, TSM license are perpetual, which means they never expire, or never stop working. The renewal process allows you to call support in the event of an issue, and also allows you to download new versions and fixes.
If you are migrating from one machine to another, you do not have to buy licenses to cover both machines. IBM allows you to exceed your license count in this instance as you will eventually remove the old one after migration. I think you have 3 months to migrate, but that number may be wrong. If you are using the old PVU license method, then obviously newer machines generally have larger core counts, and thus incur a higher value. If you are on the TB license model, then you can deploy as many clients as you wish. regards, Mark From: "Huebner, Andy" <andy.hueb...@novartis.com> To: ADSM-L@vm.marist.edu Date: 06/03/2014 06:26 AM Subject: Re: out of TSM compliance period question Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@vm.marist.edu> We true up once a quarter.

Does anyone know the time period a customer can be out of TSM EE / TSM TDP for database compliance (i.e., is there a grace period)?? Does everyone true up once a year or less??
