When you purchase/license software from IBM, you download it from IBM via
the Passport website (entitlements). The packages you download from
Passport contain the license keys for the base product, in the
installation package. If you need to rebuild a TSM server, you would just
download the package from Passport, again.
As other folks have said, you need to perform the "register license"
process/command to "register" different feature of the TSM server, like
the "extended edition" (large tape library support) of TSM.
Just do a "q license" to see what is registered/active. Here is what I
get:
