I've found that you can indeed delete licenses by setting the number
of licenses to zero (I think you must be fairly current with your
server, mine are at v5.1.6.3):

register license file=./library.lic number=0

removes all of the library entries. Similarly,

register license file=./mgsyslan.lic number=0

removes all of the clients. Note that you can also *lower*
the number of licenses. If you are licensed for 2,000 clients,
you can reduce that license to 1,000 clients:

register license file=./mgsyslan.lic number=1000

Charles,

If you register the wrong license or too many license.
There is not a "remove" or a "delete" license command.
If you want to see this feature in future release of TSM, need
to call IBM TSM Support and submit a design change request.

To change the license.
Need to locate the nodelock file.
It should be in /opt/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/ .
Stop the TSM server application.
Rename or move the nodlock file to another directory.
Restart the TSM application, then re-register all the license.

TSM 4.1.6 on Solaris 8 I added to many mgsyslan.lic  licenses

looked in the Ref and Admin guide and found no REM or DEL

lic, there's reference to the Nodelock

file, but not sire if I could blow it a way and re-register?
