You have to have a license for the number of slots that the library tells
NetWorker you have. Pre NetWorker 7 you could tell it there were only 64
slots, but now it checks.

So, some libraries enable you to reduce the announced numbers of slots. If
it isn't one of those, you may have to contact the library vendor. If they
can't do anything......
