I've found Veritas licensing confusing at best.  We use SSO here, and I 
was told by Veritas to install the SSO licenses on the master server. 
However, if I don't install the SSO license key on the media servers, I 
don't get the option asking if the drive is shared when configuring tape 
drives with tpconfig.  Installing the SSO license key on the media 
server was the fix.
