you can  do a "mkdir /tmp/license" and "touch /tmp/license/status.dat"
then it should work.
This file is created normally when you run the install script on the
installation cd  after reading and agreeing with the license agreement.
I guess by creating this file by hand you  agree with a license
agreement you have never read/seen. (who reads that anyway)

I am trying to update my TSM Linux server from 5.2.2.3 to 5.2.2.5.

When I do the "rpm -Uvh TIVsm-server*.rpm" to do the install, I get an
error  message about my license file "/tmp/license/status.dat" not being
there/correct and therefore the TSM must not be installed.

Why is it looking for the status.dat file in /tmp when it is in the
/opt/tivoli/tsm/server/license directory ?

Am I missing some kind of PATH ?   (I didn't do the original install so I
am unsure how it was installed)

Any suggestions ?
