<div><p>Learn about the software licensing and pricing strategy for IBM<sup>®</sup> products
|
||
|
|
on an iSeries™ server
|
||
|
|
with logical partitions.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Unique software resources exist and operate on hardware that is assigned
|
||
|
|
to each partition. These software resources include separate copies of Licensed
|
||
|
|
Internal Code, <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> ,
|
||
|
|
and other licensed program products. Additionally, language feature codes,
|
||
|
|
security, user data, most system values, and software release and fixes (or
|
||
|
|
program temporary fixes, PTFs) remain unique for each logical partition.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Software license behavior varies by software product. Each solution provider
|
||
|
|
has its own licensing strategy. You can use IBM software products, licensed by the processor
|
||
|
|
group, in any partition. All you need to do is purchase one license for the iSeries server.
|
||
|
|
You can then install the product on any partition you choose. IBM user-based
|
||
|
|
products are priced based on the total number of users running across all
|
||
|
|
partitions of an iSeries server</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Software licensing and pricing for IBM software products on servers running
|
||
|
|
multiple partitions remains largely unchanged from current licensing and pricing
|
||
|
|
policies. Processor-based products running in an environment with logical
|
||
|
|
partitions are priced according to the Software Machine Group of the underlying iSeries hardware
|
||
|
|
model. Processor-based one time charge IBM software products are licensed to run
|
||
|
|
simultaneously in all of the partitions on the server. IBM user-based products are priced based
|
||
|
|
on the total number of users running across all partitions of an iSeries.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Software license management functions that currently exist in <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> are available in an environment
|
||
|
|
with logical partitions. Software license management supports the various
|
||
|
|
pricing models that iSeries Independent Software Vendors typically use
|
||
|
|
to license their products on an iSeries server.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Software license management has 3 usage types: registered users, concurrent
|
||
|
|
users and processors. All three count usage across the server. It can determine
|
||
|
|
and enforce the number of users for a licensed product across multiple logical
|
||
|
|
partitions of an iSeries.</p>
