Well, for that matter, why not just have the client send the processor info
back to the server?
It sends back the OS level.  Seems to me the software should collect the
information if that's what it needs...

Bruce,

At this point the licensing scheme is sold one way and incorporated into
the TSM Server a second completely different way.  One way I thought of
to bring the two licensing schemes would be to have each node registered
with a number of processors entered with it as an option.  That
accomplishes that function, now we could kill two birds with one stone
by adding a "TDP License" option with a flags of DB2, SAP, Oracle,
Sybase, etc so that both the TDP and the node license are associated
with the same nodename.  And while were at it, let's make it easier to
store both filesystem and TDP data under the same nodename instead of
creating a second virtual node.
