I am trying to pin down the rules governing licensing for TSM for Databases. My best guess, based on unofficial sources and official but badly written IBM documents, is detailed below. There are separate license charges for each of the following two things: 1.The right to store data from a

Within the last few months there was a series of messages on counting processor cores. A couple of the messages stated that TSM is moving to licensing based on terabytes of stored data rather than processor cores. Where can I find more information on this?
