Is a TSM 7.1.1 server license sufficient for TSM server 7.1.5 or will I need to 
download 7.1.3 to get a new license for the 7.1.5 code base?

Hi all,

The IBM Spectrum Protect server package is updated with a new license when
the code is "re-based", i..e, that new level is being established as a new
base level of the software (not necessarily an x.x.0.0 level). It is the
re-based server packages that are put on Passport Advantage. 7.1.3.0 was
the most recent re-base of the server.

Best regards,

Andy
