Note: The register license command has changed with the Tivoli Storage Manager V5.3. You now have far fewer options. You can register licenses for server components. This includes Tivoli Storage Manager (base), Tivoli Storage Manager Extended Edition, and IBM System Storage Archive Manager. You cannot register licenses for components that are licensed on the basis of processors (for example, Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail, Tivoli Storage Manager for Databases, Tivoli Storage Manager for ERP, Tivoli Storage Manager for Copy Services, Tivoli Storage Manager for Advanced Copy Services, Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management). Your license agreement determines what you are licensed to use. Even if you are not using the REGISTER LICENSE command to register all components, you are expected to comply with the license agreement and use only what you have purchased. Use of the REGISTER LICENSE command implies that you agree to and accept the license terms specified in your license agreement. 9.3 Saving your licenses When license registration is complete, the licenses are stored in a file named nodelock in the server start directory. Keep the installation CD-ROM that contains the license certificate files in a safe place to be used if you need to reregister your licenses. This might occur if: The server is corrupted. The server has moved to a different machine. The NODELOCK file is destroyed or corrupted. 9.4 License compliance If license terms change (for example, if a new license is defined for the server), the server conducts an audit to determine whether the current server configuration conforms to the license terms. The server also periodically audits compliance with the license terms. The results of this audit are used to check and enforce license terms. If 30 days have elapsed since the previous license audit, the administrator cannot cancel the audit. If the server uses a licensed feature but the license is not registered, the function fails. When you issue a command associated with an unlicensed feature, Tivoli Storage Manager does not issue a warning message, and the command fails. 306 IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation Guide
