Value Unit pricing for eligible zSeries IPLA programs IBM Tivoli License Compliance Manager for z/OS can enables a lower cost of incremental growth and enterprise assist with the chargeback process by helping users aggregation. Each zSeries IPLA product with Value Unit allocate software costs based on product specific usage pricing has a single price per Value Unit and a conversion patterns. Verification of invoices can be achieved by matrix, called Value Unit Exhibit, for converting from comparing the software contract usage rights with IBM some designated measurement to Value Units.

205-185 -2- IPLA and Subscription and Support considerations

IPLA licenses can be transferred from one machine to another within, but not limited to an enterprise. The customer may aggregate the capacity for all the processors the product is operated on to achieve a more economic price. This will result in a single Proof of Entitlement. It is the customer′s responsibility to manage the distribution of Value Units within the limits of the entitlement of the product license. Subscription and Support must cover the same capacity as the product license entitlement. Subscription and Support will be available in the country in which the agreement is made.
