Hi Roy,

Tivoli Storage Manager version 4 introduced the Tivoli 'Value-Based Pricing'
model.  The pricing model changed and so did the license options and files
within TSM.  You no longer buy the network enabling license.  Instead, the
cost of the base server is tiered based on the hardware you are running on.
The client license cost is also tiered based on the hardware type and size.
Client licenses were also split into two flavors: a managed LAN system which
is basically what we had prior to v4.1 and a managed SAN system.  The end
result is basically the same, but the accounting is different.

Hope this helps.
