Bruce, At this point the licensing scheme is sold one way and incorporated into the TSM Server a second completely different way. One way I thought of to bring the two licensing schemes would be to have each node registered with a number of processors entered with it as an option. That accomplishes that function, now we could kill two birds with one stone by adding a "TDP License" option with a flags of DB2, SAP, Oracle, Sybase, etc so that both the TDP and the node license are associated with the same nodename. And while were at it, let's make it easier to store both filesystem and TDP data under the same nodename instead of creating a second virtual node.
