LOL sounds about right.

 At least that's more direct than the current method ;-)

I looked at the TSM V6 beta and found there will be a license module
that determines how many licenses your system will need.  After a bit of
debugging and reverse engineering, I obtained a snippet of the source
code - Now remember, this is beta, so it may or may not make it into the
shipping version:

$pvu = int(rand(1000));
If ($pvu < 900) {
   print "Server License Compliance: Valid\n"; } else {
   print "Server License Compliance: Invalid\n"; }

Thanks Remco!

Also,  Is there going to be a built in license calculator  in TSM V6?
