Cool, this is the agent.lic file, got it..

I take it that legacy TDP oracle clients will continue to work without the
server having a fit?  We have a lot of older Oracle instances out there running
2.2.1 and 4.x and 5.x TDP code.

I know I really should have upgraded my TSM server a while ago, but issues
with certain *cough* vendors where keeping me at this level of code...
Not a problem any more now that we are rid of NDMP!

Thanks as always for the help Dave!
