Assessing compliance with the PVU licensing model

If you purchased Tivoli® Storage Manager under the processor value unit (PVU) licensing model, ensure that your solution complies with the license terms. Review the PVU estimates periodically to plan for future license purchasing. For example, if PVU estimates increase or you plan to install more servers, you might have to purchase more licenses.
