We were audited. We simply trued-up, reporting the most recent client/TDP deployments (which were quite a few). At least that was my understanding. They did want a look at our entire environment. Any

Let's do! How wonderful for IBM to have a tool that will calculate value units but "STILL" no tool for us to easily gather what we need to input to this web page. It may be up to us to determine wha

Hi all, I have been trying to wade through the TSM licensing information to determine which software I need to order to backup a Windows 2003 server as a client. Some articles I read say that if the

This makes me nuts, because the for purposes of licensing, they use the term CLIENT and SERVER in a completely different way than the TSM product itself does. If you have a machine you want to back u

I've been told they get it from IBM. The problem I have with that is IBM can't even tell ME what they think I'm supposed to have. Not to mention if you go through certain avenues to get your licenses
Wow, epiphany. -THAT- is why they're doing this. We've got job security, me hearties: it's now part of our duties to visually inspect every CPU. We should thank them: nobody will want our jobs now.
