Well, given this from "IBMSubCap":
"ILMT can only be used to determine the number and types of processor cores for 
TSM's PVU-base licensing on the managed servers via a manual effort.  In other 
words, ILMT won't "see" the TSM code on the TSM managed server, but if you know 
the servers that TSM is managing, then you can use ILMT to determine the 
processor cores.

Also note that the installation of the ILMT agent on client PCs (desktops, 
laptops that TSM may manage) is not recommended nor supported."

If this has a heavy enough footprint to not warrant running on a workstation or 
desktop, theres no way on earth I'd allow it on any of my servers.

All I want is a simple script, blessed by IBM/Tivoli, that can be run 
non-disruptively and on demand that will return cores/cpus for the system it 
runs on. Until then, they're entitled to the best swag I can come up with.

No, because it's dead serious.  And the licensing cost for the
software can only be calculated by the licensing software.  Value
Units, you know.

I think I heard about this in Oxford.
