Yes, MLM is there for you to distribute as needed. In addition, there are
is the (unsupported but still very useful) System Information Agent for a
couple of unix platforms available from ftp.tivoli.com/support/SIA.
These components were previously part the the Systems Monitor/6000
product, and there was a charge per box. Now there is no charge.
The MLM is included with Netview, and the configuration tool for it
(smconfig) is actually installed when you install Netview.
Cordially,

===========================================================================
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
