Hi Depending on the version of TSM you are running, you dont have to buy the shared library license:
1. Tivoli Storage Manager required library sharing, and managed library license, if the license has more than 3 drives, or more than 30 slots. 2. Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition doesnt require either shared library or managed library licenses, as they are included within the TSM Extended license. Of couse, the situation differs between running multiple TSM servers against a 3494, and running LAN-free agents against the 3494, as the LAN-free agents utilize both server-to-server communication, and library sharing. In that case, you will require Best Regards Daniel Sparrman PS!
