This is generally NOT a good place to get marketing information. It is the
case that your get MLM included when you buy NetView, the CDs are shipped in the
same box. But you should check with your Tivoli marketing rep about licensing
restrictions. Generally speaking you can install all the MLM's you need to
support the NetView you purchased, but whether that gives you the right to put
as many as you want, wherever you want, without qualification, is another issue.
The contract you sign is the last word.

Subject: Re: Simple agent
Please tell me if this assumption is correct: when buying TME 10 Netview 5,
is it possible to install MLM freely on any number of AIX, HP, SUN or NT
platforms ?. I think MLM's license policy was different on prior versions of
TME 10 Netview.
Thank you
