There is a provision for defining more licenses than you have purchased. The reason being you can have more than one node on a machine. I know this does not solve your problem.

Has anyone noticed the following TSM "feature"? Step 1. Take any Unix machine which has been registered as a TSM node. Create some directories and subdirectories owned by user Alice and only readable by user Alice. Step 2. As user "root", make a TSM-backup of the machine. Step 3. Start the TSM Client as user Bob. Go to the "Restore" window. According to step 1, the Unix permissions don't allow Bob to see what directories Alice has, but the TSM Client will happily show all of them. (Mind you, I mean the directories only, not files.) So if Alice were to have a directory called, say, 'World_Wide_Conspiration_Plans' or 'Interesting_Job_Offers' or 'Staff_To_Be_Fired_Next_Week' anyone could misuse TSM to see that. Doesn't this bother anyone? In our multi-user environment, I find it unacceptable. The only solution I can think of would be to register one node per user, but then we would need a license for each user, even for those several hundred users who only have a mail file and little else in their $HOMEs.
