Charge metrics definitions
Value Unit
A Value Unit is a pricing charge metric for program license entitlements which is based upon the
quantity of a specific designated measurement used for a given program. Each program has a
designated measurement. The most commonly used designated measurement is a processor core.
However, for select programs, there are other designated measurements such as users, client devices,
and messages. The number of Value Unit entitlements required for a program depends on how the
program is deployed in your environment and must be obtained from a Value Unit table. You must
obtain a PoE for the calculated number of Value Unit entitlements for your implementation. The
Value Unit entitlements are specific to a program and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or
aggregated with Value Unit entitlements of another program.
Processor (Value Unit)
A processor core is a functional unit within a computing device that interprets and executes
instructions. A processor core consists of at least an instruction control unit and one or more
arithmetic or logic unit. With multicore technology, each core is considered a processor. Not all
processor cores require the same number of Value Unit entitlements. To calculate the number of
Value Unit entitlements required, refer to the value unit table on the following Web site
With full capacity licensing, a PoE must be acquired for the appropriate
number of value units based on all activated processor cores available
for use on the server.
Sub-capacity processor (Value Unit)
For programs eligible for sub-capacity licensing, a PoE must be acquired
for the appropriate number of value units based on all activated
processor cores available for use in each partition (utilizing eligible
partitioning technologies) where the program runs. Refer to the
"International Passport Advantage Agreement Attachment for sub-capacity
terms" or the program's license information to determine applicable
sub-capacity terms.
Authorized user
An authorized user is one and only one individual (named or unnamed)
within or outside your enterprise. A Proof of Entitlement (PoE) must be
obtained for each individual user accessing the program in any manner. A
program licensed under an authorized user PoE may be installed on a
single computer or server, and accessed by multiple users, provided that
a PoE has been obtained for each individual user accessing the program
either directly or indirectly (via a multiplexing program, device, or
application server) through any means on behalf of the user.

Program unique terms
IBM WebFacing Deployment Tool for WebSphere Development Studio, defined
as the "program" may only be used to connect to System i™ 5250
applications. The Program is available based on three charging methods:
Authorized User, Value Unit, and processor per tier. Please consult your
PoE to determine which charging method applies to your license.
The Authorized User and Value Unit versions of the program consist of the
following Components:
-
WebSphere HATS WebFacing Tool Runtime
-
WebSphere Application Server — Express for Multiplatforms ("Application
Server — Express")
The processor per tier version of the program consists of the following
Components:
-
WebSphere HATS and WebFacing Tool Runtime
Entitlement to program upgrades does not entitle you to upgrades to the
individual components unless such components are upgraded as part of a
program upgrade. For example, if the WebSphere Application Server —
Express for Multiplatforms program product is upgraded, you will not be
entitled to such upgrade unless a program upgrade includes the upgraded
version of WebSphere Application Server — Express for Multiplatforms.
Program-unique terms
The program is available based on three charging methods: Authorized
User, Value Unit, and processor per tier. The charging methods only
apply when the program is used in a production environment. If the
Authorized User charging method is selected, the number of Program
licenses purchased must equal the number of authorized users accessing
the program from the Internet and/or intranet.
Authorized User License Option
An Authorized User is one and only one individual, machine, program, or
device with a specific identity (ID) within or outside Your enterprise.
A PoE is required for each user accessing the program, or any program
component, either directly or indirectly through any means on behalf of
the user. An example of "indirect" access would be through a
multiplexing program, device, or application server. Connections (from
either users or other applications) made to the Program through other
products that act as connection concentrators must be counted as
Authorized Users and are subject to use-base charges based on the number
of Authorized Users of those concentrators.
Customers that would like to take advantage of the rich-client deployment
option from the HATS Toolkit must purchase Authorized User licenses.
Value Unit License Option
Under the processor Value Unit licensing structure, each processor core
will be assigned a specific number of Value Units. You must acquire the
total number of processor Value Units for each processor core on which
the software programs are deployed. IBM continues to define a processor
to be each processor core on a chip. For example, a dual-core chip
contains two processor cores.
Each software program has a unique price per Value Unit. To determine
the total cost of deploying an individual software program, you multiply
the program price per Value Unit by the total number of processor Value
Units required. Refer to the processor Value Unit table on the Passport
Advantage site below for a list of Value Unit requirements by processor.
With full capacity licensing, you must acquire the appropriate number of
Value Units based on all activated processors on the server available to
the program or a component of the program. In sub-capacity licensing,
you must acquire the appropriate number of Value Units based on all
activated processors in partitions (utilizing eligible partitioning
technologies) on the server available to the program or a component of
the program.
Processor per Tier License Option
For each PoE you obtain under the Processor per Tier License Option, you
are authorized to deploy and run program applications on System i machine
with a single processor of the tier specified by your PoE.
Alternatively, you may deploy and run Program applications on System i
machine of the tier specified by your PoE with multiple processors if you
acquire a Processor per Tier License Option PoE for each processor on
such machine.

IBM Global Services has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to put
you on the road to higher systems availability. IBM Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution
that provides you with an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support
available on the IBM eServer® platform. These services provide the opportunity for greater system
availability due to faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. IBM Electronic Services is
comprised of two separate but complementary elements: IBM Electronic Services news page and IBM
Electronic Service Agent™.
IBM Electronic Services news page provides you with a single Internet entry point that replaces the
multiple entry points traditionally used by customers to access IBM Internet services and support.
The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving
technical problems.
The IBM Electronic Service Agent is no-additional charge software that resides on your IBM eServer
system. It is designed to proactively monitor events and transmit system inventory information to
IBM on a periodic, customer-defined timetable. The IBM Electronic Service Agent tracks system
inventory, hardware error logs, and performance information. If the server is under a current IBM
maintenance service agreement or within the IBM warranty period, the Service Agent automatically
reports hardware problems to IBM.
Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to provide proactive service that may result in
higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service
Agent will be made available to IBM service support representatives when they are helping answer
your questions or diagnosing problems.
