Both Standard and Enterprise have been withdrawn. According to my regional Tivoli BP rep, they have completely abandoned this new licensing scheme and moved back to the points based licensing.

All of the constituent parts are still available, but you can not purchase the bundle. Word is that it was "too confusing" to end users. I hope it didn't also have to do with the fact that our software quote went up by $70,000 when the change was made. -- Tom Thomas A.
