I'm pretty sure the answer is no.  You know longer pay per tsm **node**
but per **machine** that is backed up to tsm, regardless of how many
nodes run on that machine.

Gretchen, I would think that in your case you would have a pretty good
idea of what server machines you back up and that your open registration
would be almost exclusively for client class machines, i.e. single user
machines.
