Hi *SM'ers

Using  TSM  4.1.3.0 on an AIX 4.3.3 system, I'm facing a little license
problem : I recently found that our server was not in compliance with
licensing terms, and then decided to remove some nodes that  where not
in use anymore. I deleted the filespaces that where associated with this
nodes, and then did a delete node.
For some  mysterious reason, that command worked like a charm on some
nodes, but I got the following output :

11/19/01 12:39:50 ANR2061I Node PACRS161 removed from policy domain AIX.

11/19/01 12:39:50 << Message number 2289 not available for language
EN_US >> 
for some other nodes.
Does anybody has a clue what this message could mean ?
Now something more interresting : after having been removing 4 nodes,
(inclusive 3 where I got this error message), I found the  value in
"Number of Managed System for LAN in use:", when I did a query lic, just
decreased by 1 ...
How is it possible ? Is there some hidden data belonging those deleted
nodes that remains in TSM DB, therefore preventing TSM to remove them
from licence table ? If yes, how can I find and delete this data, to
finally liberate licenses ?
Thanks in advance for your responses ...
Regards.
Arnaud
