I have a bit of an issue with the licencing as well, what I find a bit
off is this:
A Windows 2x way box, with MS SQL running on one processor and licenced
for one processor, but if I want to use TDP for SQL I have to have two
licences because there's two cpus, even though SQL only runs on one.
Ho Hum...

I'm going to vent for a minute about the CPU licensing thing. IBM
doesn't make it easy to validate because a true CPU count is never
reported by the client.

Case in point, we have two 8 way Linux DB2 servers that we only backup
via the API. We have 16 CPU licenses just for those boxes because IBM
told us we had to have them. We added the licenses to TSM and still each
of those nodes only take 1 CPU license.
