Dealer prices may vary, and prices may also vary by country. Prices are subject to change without notice. For additional information and current prices, contact your local IBM representative. The price of WebSphere Commerce is based on the number of processors executing all or any part of the WebSphere Commerce program. Number of Processors and Stores: Each processor license for WCPE or WCBE entitles the licensee to run on one processor and includes an entitlement for a maximum of five stores. The customer must acquire additional processor licenses for each processor executing all or any part of WCPE or WCBE, or exceeding five stores. Each processor license for WCPEE entitles the licensee to run on one processor and includes an entitlement for a maximum of one store. The customer may not acquire a second WCPEE licenses except for the purpose of providing hot fail-over capability. A store in WebSphere Commerce licensing is a store back office. Store back offices are identified and may be counted in the store table. Several storefronts may access the same store back office to allow handling of commerce transactions consistently for all stores. To improve performance, store developers can clone the commerce server producing identical copies of the store, either on one processor, or several processors if WCPE or WCBE is installed. Cloning does require additional processor licenses when using multiple processors. Number of Users: Each WebSphere Commerce Studio user license entitles one user to use the WebSphere Commerce Studio product for development. Additional user licenses must be acquired if more than one user is required for development. DB2, Staging, and Backup Servers: DB2 is included with WebSphere Commerce to be used exclusively with WebSphere Commerce. If WCPE or WCBE is installed and it is used on its own hardware server, an additional license for WCPE or WCBE is required if DB2 is on another processor, unless a DB2 license is purchased separately. All WebSphere Commerce servers, including staging and backup servers, that use the WebSphere Commerce program require their own WebSphere Commerce license. Prices are only available through Passport Advantage. Passport Advantage: For Passport Advantage and charges, contact your authorized IBM Business Partner.
