Wanda, THANK YOU so much for that concise and thorough TSM licensing
lesson. We are going through a huge hassle right now. I think my manager
has made contact with someone (finally) who understands the maze of TSM
licensing, but I will definitely pass your email on to him.

Hope that was some help.

David, a little of my history with tsm is in order.
I have been with it since v1 r1. Back then there wasn't any audit license command or

David,
IBM still does charge by node if you say the node is not a server.
It is up to us, the customers, to characterize the machines to be backed up
and then buy the proper number and kind of licenses.

Nancy,
As far as I can tell it no longer matters what the TSM software thinks
you have as far as number of nodes; just tell it you have enough to make
it shut up.
The reason it no longer matters is that IBM no longer charges you by

I believe that a wrinkle in this is the TSM behavior of maintaining a
count of license use attempts, regardless of validity. Query License

We are in the process of ordering a TSM upgrade (from 4.1 to 5.1 or 5.2)
and are having pricing issues. I ran a license audit to see what we are

200), but we only have 78 nodes registered. I do not understand the
discrepancy.
