Cool, this is the agent.lic file, got it.. I take it that legacy TDP oracle clients will continue to work without the server having a fit? We have a lot of older Oracle instances out there running 2.2.1 and 4.x and 5.x TDP code. I know I really should have upgraded my TSM server a while ago, but issues with certain *cough* vendors where keeping me at this level of code... Not a problem any more now that we are rid of NDMP! Thanks as always for the help Dave! Bob
