Hi Nick,

'Library Sharing" license is just what it sounds like if youare sharing
a single library, say between TSM servers.

 'Managed Library" is need for the those libraries that are listed as
requiring the *A/E* feature on the Tivoli supported device page (
http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/requirements.html ).
 Generally this is for libraries with more than 3 drives and/or more
than 40 slots.  There are some exception so just go by whether it has
the *A/E* in the notes section, if so then you must purchase the
'Managed Library" license as well.

I hope that clears it up for you.
