Just as an aside, in TSM 5.3 this is much cleaner - all you do is reg lic
file=tsmbasic.lic or tsmee.lic or dataret.lic - all the client licensing
is meaningless since the charges are CPU-count based. So, in releases
prior to 5.3 you might as well register enough "client licenses" such that
you don't get violation messages all the time. Remember that it's an
honour system and you should fess up to the total number of CPUs you are
using when it comes to billing time.

Hi John!
TSM's license counter starts counting as soon as a client starts backing
up.
A license is not returned until all the client's data has been removed
from
the server. So, as long as the inactive clients are storing data on your
TSM
server (no matter how old), you are using a license...
Kindest regards,

People,
My question is I have just run audit licence and it shows  as audited the
number of registered clients
However a number of registered clients have not backed up for a few
months.
My question is do these inactive clients need a licence
Does anyone know IBM's official take on this.
thanks.,
John
