Depends on how you define client. Most people would define a client as
any computer that you backup to the TSM server.

Tivoli defines a client as a desktop machine (Win98, etc..) and anything
else requires a server license to backup to the TSM server.

That is not true.  There is a price difference between a TSM server and
client license.

And furthermore it doesn't matter whether it is running TSM server or TSM
client. it is still the same per-processor license. So for the same set of
machines there is no cost different between using them as TSM servers or TSM
clients.

We were told yesterday that a processor is a processor.  That it doesn't
matter whether the client runs on a desktop or a server, just how many
processors are being used in the box.

I was speaking with our TSM sales rep earlier today about ordering TSM
client software upgrades.  She said that as of this past January, a
factor
in the pricing of a client software license is whether or not the
client is
a server or a desktop and, if a server, how many cpus it has.  Has
anyone
else heard anything about this?

Thanks.
