I thought that it was interesting too, that when I asked our Tivoli rep and he bounced it up to licensing, the person there said: if you use Intel Hyper-Threading, Windows reports having two processors even though there is only one physical processor, and it is licensed as a single (1) processor. ... That helps some in our shop.

Tivoli for a while now has been processor based for licensing. So if you no longer have the TSM client installed and running on those servers then it doesn't make sense that you should be paying maintenance or anything for that matter for those nodes. This is one of the reasons why they did away with the current license tracking in TSM at V5.3. Another interesting point. If you were using something like VMWare and had 4 clients on one physical dual processor server you would pay for a single 2 processor license. Even though you have 4 installations of the TSM client. This can have a negative effect as well. If you have 4 VM's on an 8 way and want to purchase the TDP for SQL for just one of the VM's you still have to pay for the 8 process license of the TDP. Of course pricing can be different from customer to customer and location to location so really only your local Tivoli rep can tell you exactly what you are required to do.

A license is not returned until all the client's data has been removed from the server. So, as long as the inactive clients are storing data on your TSM server (no matter how old), you are using a license...
