AFAIK, you count all processors, TSM server and TSM clients.  If you have
a 2-processor Unix server and 10 1-processor NT clients, you have 12
processors.  You them multiple by the right $ amount depending on whether
you are "regular" or "enterprise edition".

Processors in which machine(s)? If this is only server processors it is
little bit surprising to me (according to price book I look at processor
costs less than 200 Euro). If it is for client processors as well the
price goes too high.
Could you be so kind to provide exact Tivoli description from the
licensing document within the box.

Processor means the number of CPUs. For example if you have an RS6000
with 4 CPUs, that is 4 processors. The new pricing is based on the
number of CPUs/processors in the machine.
