In an earlier post I complained about problems getting price
quotes/licensing info for TSM 4.1 configurations under the new Tivoli
licensing scheme.

For those of you WITH A SUPPORT CONTRACT THAT GIVES YOU ACCESS TO IBMLINK,
this week they posted a new version of the configurator that includes TSM
4.1.  You can work out an initial configuration for licensing/points/pricing
yourself.

 The configurator works no matter whether you plan to run your TSM server on
an RS6000, Windows, or OS/390.

*       Log in to IBMLINK
*       Go to the ESD section
*       Select RS6000CONFIGS
*       Select RS6000Win95
*       Download all the parts to a directory on your desktop and follow the
install instructions (you just click on self-extracting files, it's very
fast)

Before you run the configurator, you should also:

*       Read the TSM licensing section at the beginning of Chap. 16 in the
TSM 4.1 Admin Guide.  This explains all the different licenses you may need.

*       Download from IBMLINK the TSM 4.1.1 announcement letter 000-245.

        From the announcement letter, you will need the explanation of the
Tier scheme on P. 3.
        You will also need the product/feature numbers (e.g., 5698-TSM) from
the "Ordering Information" section.  This section also has some additional
clarification of the licensing rules.
