Sorry to bring this up again, but...

I KNOW that in TSM 4.1, the server behavior was to stop counting the
licenses after 30 days of non-use.  It was documented in the server README
(I think that's where it was), and I verified it on our running systems.

I have not seen it documented anywhere for 5.1 or 5.2; has anyone?

I sat down and checked mine;  I checked the data in the license_details
table against the output of q license, and it APPEARS that my license
manager (TSM  5.1.6.2)  is counting all the clients that have connected in
approx. the last YEAR.  But it's hard for me to be sure since this server
isn't much older than that.

Could some of you please check yours and let me know?  (also what server
version you have)

select license_name,node_name, date(last_used) from license_details order by
3


Thanks
Wanda Prather

Nancy,

Sorry to tell you that, but I'm facing the same problem as you, with
nodes being inactive since much more than 30 days, and still using
licenses. I already questioned the list without success :-(

So, are you saying that if I had no new node related activity in 30
days, that these 2 numbers would eventually match and be accurate?

That is quite a wrinkle!
