TSM Server 4.1.1
The platform I am using is NT. Ok, I understand that I am in try-buy mode. Not what I had in mind, but now that I am, what do I do? Can I install the base TSM 4.0 over 4.1.1.0 to get the licensing executable? I have paid for a two year software subscription so getting the software is not a problem. My problem now is that my database is in 4.0x so I can not go backwards very easily if at all.

Re: TSM Server 4.1.1
Checked the TSM V4.1 CD readme.srvand nothing that I could find indicates that you'll have to re-register licenses. I dug in 'books' and found a step (quickstart book) (under:Migrating to Tivoli Storage Manager Version 4.1 You can install Tivoli Storage Manager Version 4.1 over a previous version of ADSM or TSM. This is called a "migrate install". :) 7.Your licenses from the previous version are no longer valid and must be reregistered. See Registering Licenses. Note: The tivoli.tsm.license package is required to register licenses. This package is installed when you install the TSM server package. I also saw this: Note: If you migrate from ADSM, your existing licenses are no longer valid. You must update your license information. (and TSM to TSM (ie 3.7 to 4.1??) (also in the quickstart, CD based doc). to readme(s) or to read quickstart infonow have to check both??

The 4.1 server has a different licensing scheme than the 3.7 version of the server. The 3.7 licenses are not recognized by 4.1. You need to do the REGISTER LICENSE commands on the 4.1 server. The current architecture of the license manager is any new version will have a different license scheme than the older versions of the server. The newer version will not recognize the older licenses. My suggestion is to put all of your REGISTER LICENSE commands in a file. This way you can run that file as a macro to re-regsister licenses as needed. You will also see something in README file about performance and the size of your nodelock file if you are running NT or AIX. Before you register the licenses I recommend you delete your nodelock file to get rid of the old license strings that are no longer valid. The server will eat up CPU cycles to decode those old license strings that it will just end up ignoring because they are for an older server version. >Not suprising (argh!).any info in the README files?

This should be fully documented in the README file. The 4.1 server has a different licensing scheme than the 3.7 version of the server. The 3.7 licenses are not recognized by 4.1. You need to do the REGISTER LICENSE commands on the 4.1 server.

Re: TSM Server 4.1.1
All, or most all, of the lic files have changed from 3.7 to 4.1. Licensing is a whole new ball game in 4.1. -- Joshua S. Bassi Senior Technical Consultant Symatrix Technology, Inc.
