IBM does have a tool that properly counts CPUs and cores for value unit licensing calculations. It's called Tivoli License Compliance Manager. Load an(other) agent on all of your TSM systems and peri

Well, that would be a good start, except that it's about $26/CPU too high a price. And if it requires any of the rest of the Tivoli monitoring structure to work, it wouldn't be viable anyway. It does

And how does one go about purchasing this CPU-counting tool without knowing how many CPUs to license it for? IBM does have a tool that properly counts CPUs and cores for value unit licensing calculat

But is TLCM licensed per CPU or by value units? Someone call Dr Who. Maybe a Time Lord could figure it out. IBM does have a tool that properly counts CPUs and cores for value unit licensing calculati

TLCM is priced by value unit, of course. Once you install it it will tell you how much of it you need to buy from IBM. I'm not sure how exactly you get onto the hamster wheel in the first place. Did

ARGH! This is a policy decision, not a technical one. The TSM server will -already- report license compliance, against an obsolete standard. IBM can choose wether the response is to shut down your s
