I heard about TSM server being license by the physical machine.
I thought that Tivoli/IBM was going to do this with 5.1 . Since
this did not happen, I wonder if it is in the works for the
next version.

I discovered VMware about a year ago. I wish I found out about
VMware sooner. I manage to convince my company to get VMware.
We save money by not getting another system for testing purpose.
I have multiple virtual test/training machines.
