I have a bit of an issue with the licencing as well, what I find a bit off is this: A Windows 2x way box, with MS SQL running on one processor and licenced for one processor, but if I want to use TDP for SQL I have to have two licences because there's two cpus, even though SQL only runs on one. Ho Hum...

IBM doesn't make it easy to validate because a true CPU count is never reported by the client. Case in point, we have two 8 way Linux DB2 servers that we only backup via the API. We have 16 CPU licenses just for those boxes because IBM told us we had to have them. We added the licenses to TSM and still each of those nodes only take 1 CPU license.
