For what it is worth, below is some 'plain english' verbiage our Tivoli rep
sent to us regarding the new pricing structure.  Hope this helps clarify
things a small bit.

"IBM announced TSM V.5 last week and this announcement included new
pricing.  TSM is now priced based upon the number of processors in the
backup client machines and there is no charge for the TSM server
software.  This will reduce the cost of TSM in small environments and
increase the cost for large installs."

Hi Zlatko:

Where did you find the definitions for "Processors" and "Clients".
