'Managed Library" is need for the those libraries that are listed as requiring the *A/E* feature on the Tivoli supported device page ( http://www.tivoli.com/support/storage_mgr/requirements.html ). Generally this is for libraries with more than 3 drives and/or more than 40 slots. There are some exception so just go by whether it has the *A/E* in the notes section, if so then you must purchase the 'Managed Library" license as well. I hope that clears it up for you. -- Regards, Mark D.
