I would imagine it should be fine installing it afterwards.. It should just dump various "*.lic" files into the TSM server directory. The license files are only available off the base cd.. i.e. 5.1.0, or 4.2.0, or whichever version you have. If you download an update like 5.1.1, it doesn't include the license files. That's why when you do a fresh install you always start with the base level off the cd, then upgrade it with the update. So you get the license files installed.
I'd first check if there are *.lic files in the directory and try licensing it with the command below. If that doesn't work it probably wasn't installed. If that doesn't work then next I would halt the TSM server (type halt at TSM admin prompt or if you're using windows, stop the TSM server service), install the license files, and then start the TSM server again (in windows, the TSM server service). Then try registering it as below. IF you're uncomfortable doing it you could always call Tivoli support and have them walk you through it but it's pretty painless. Doubt you'd hurt anything as TSM is pretty resilient.

The people who set it up (set it up for us while training us etc) said it didn't matter either. If the licensing package was not installed can it be installed afterwards? There is an option to install the licensing package (something like that. It's not too clear on exactly what it's for) but I don't want to screw up what I already have setup. Even the sales rep that sold it to us said the licensing wasn't necessary. Funky... sim Gerald Wichmann wrote: >To my knowledge, licensing doesn't matter.
