Not to beat a dead horse, but this is what I just received from my sales rep
as to the pricing structure for TSM clients. I hadn't heard this until
today, so thought I'd share it:
Clarification I just rec'd,
Old Way all clients were "four Tivoli points" = about $120
New Way Desktop Clients = "four Tivoli points"
NT Server = "seven Tivoli points"
Unix = "15 Tivoli points"
List price is $31/ point

I also contacted Tivoli, and got the answer (in writing) that you register
each machine, regardless of how many nodes there are registered to TSM for
the machine. Guess it depends on who at Tivoli you ask (or, perhaps, what
country you live in).
It's surprising that no one at Tivoli has weighed in on this discussion
with an official pronouncement...

Hi Bill
When I received your mail, I contacted Tivoli. According to them, each
registred nodename on the TSM server is a managed system. There is NO
"special" situations where you can register more licenses than you have
purchased.
If it is so, how do you controll how many licenses you have to buy?
Hopefully, you don't have to many servers registred like this. And also,
according to Tivoli, the number of licenses you have to buy, is the number
that is stated using "q lic", not how many hardware systems you have.
Best Regards
Daniel Sparrman
PS My contact is Adam Czulinski at Tivoli Sweden. He's a large account
presale.
