And while we're on the subject of licenses and upgrades, I was
informed by my reseller that Tivoli has withdrawn the TSM
Enterprise Edition from marketing. All of the constituent parts
are still available, but you can not purchase the bundle. Word is
that it was "too confusing" to end users. I hope it didn't also
have to do with the fact that our software quote went up by
$70,000 when the change was made.
