Software Announcement 203-040 February 11, 2003 Processor Pricing for IBM WebSphere MQ Broker Products
At a GlanceSimplified charging means:
For ordering, contact: Your IBM representative or the Americas Call Centers at 800-IBM-CALL (Reference: YE001). OverviewIn response to your feedback, it is now simpler to do business with IBM. You now pay for IBM software licenses on a per-processor basis for:
This is a change from the per-capacity-unit model of charging for software licenses. You should expect no general increase or decrease in net costs. However, any change in cost will depend on your unique circumstances, relating to the number of processors in your machines. The change is effective now for all new orders but does not affect existing licenses until the next Software Maintenance renewal. If you do not have a Software Maintenance contract, you are not affected by this change and should continue using your programs under the capacity-unit terms. Processor-priced products will have their equivalent capacity unit products withdrawn on May 5, 2003. DescriptionChargingCharges for authorized use of the program are based on processor license units (PLUs). The use of the program on any server machine requires one PLU to be acquired (from IBM or an IBM Business Partner) for each processor contained in the server machine on which any copy of the program is to run. PLUs are required for every server machine on which the program is installed. You are also required to obtain a corresponding number of additional PLUs if the program installation is moved to a server machine with a greater number of processors, or if any additional processors are added to the server machine on which the program is installed. Failure to comply with the requirement for the appropriate number of PLUs will invalidate the terms of this license. For Software Maintenance renewals for deployments on servers of five processors and greater, and new software purchases for deployments on servers of five processors and greater, you are eligible for special bid on the software. Contact your IBM representative.
Also refer to the License Information supplied with your updated copy of
the program.
TransferabilityUsers who upgrade from an earlier release of each program under Passport Advantage can use their existing capacity units and then acquire additional PLUs to satisfy the requirements given below. The capacity units from the previous release will be converted to PLUs (at a rate of two capacity units to one PLU) and counted as all or part of the customer entitlement. Any "spare" capacity units can be used toward other program entitlements at the time of renewal reconciliation, but are not refundable. Capacity units for the products announced as moving to PLUs will be withdrawn from marketing on May 5, 2003. Users should retain their original product and capacity units as Proof of Entitlement (PoE).
Note that the pricing is based on the number of processors in the server
machine, regardless of whether they are all used to execute the program.
MigrationExisting customers will receive updated media packs soon after the products become generally available under the new terms. Migration for customers who have existing capacity unit license entitlements will be at the time of Software Maintenance renewal. A standard conversion rate of two capacity units to one processor license unit will be used. In the majority of situations, this conversion will ensure that customers have sufficient entitlements. However, where machines have five or more processors (and in a few other cases), the standard conversion will not give the required number of entitlements. In this case, when contacted by IBM, you should discuss acquiring additional entitlements to be correctly licensed under the new pricing model. You will not be charged for additional entitlements granted under this process, but the Software Maintenance renewal will be amended based on the number of entitlements needed. For Software Maintenance renewals for deployments on servers of five processors and greater, and new software purchases for deployments on servers of five processors and greater, you are eligible for special bid on the software.
Note:
The announcement for WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for Multiplatforms
V2.1 introduced a "single processor entry charge (one capacity unit)."
This allowed limited information brokering on a uniprocessor machine with
connections to up to three end points. Customers who subscribed to this
offering, and have Software Maintenance in place, are entitled to
conversion to a single PLU under the new licensing terms. The single PLU
does not have any restrictions on its use. There is no follow-on "entry
charge" program for new orders on the PLU terms.

Terms and ConditionsLicensing: IBM IPLA. Proofs of Entitlement (PoE) are required for all authorized use. Part number products only, offered outside of Passport Advantage, where applicable, are license only and do not include Software Maintenance.
Program Services: Available until December 31, 2003 Money-Back Guarantee: If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the program, return it within 30 days from the invoice date, to the party (either IBM or its reseller) from whom you acquired it, for a refund. This applies only to your first acquisition of the program. Copy and Use on Home/Portable Computer: No Passport Advantage Applies: Yes and through the Passport Advantage Web site at: Charging Charges for authorized use of the program are based on processor license units (PLUs). The use of the program on any server machine requires one PLU to be acquired (from IBM or an IBM Business Partner) for each processor contained in the server machine on which any copy of the program is to run. PLUs are required for every server machine on which the Broker component of the program is installed. You are also required to obtain a corresponding number of additional PLUs if the program installation is moved to a server machine with a greater number of processors, or if any additional processors are added to the server machine on which the program is installed. Failure to comply with requirement for the appropriate number of PLUs will invalidate the terms of this license. No separate server authorizations are required to license any other component part of the program. You should retain your original product and all Passport Advantage documents as PoE. Specific restrictions also apply to various components of the program, as described below. MQSeries®/WebSphere MQ: The program includes a copy of MQSeries or WebSphere MQ (together, "MQSeries"). For each PoE you are authorized to install and use MQSeries in association with your use of the program. You are authorized to install two copies of MQSeries for use with the program. You are authorized to use MQSeries only with messages generated for the program, and not for other purposes. To use MQSeries for other purposes, you must acquire a separate nonrestricted PoE for an MQSeries software product that authorizes such use. DB2®: The program includes a copy of DB2 Universal Database® (DB2). For each PoE, you are authorized to install and use DB2 in association with your use of the program. You are authorized to install one copy of DB2 for use with the program. You are authorized to use DB2 only for the storage and management of data generated by the program, and not for other data management purposes. To use DB2 for other purposes, you must acquire a separate nonrestricted PoE for a DB2 Universal Database software product that authorizes such use. Microsoft™ Data Access Components (MDAC): The program includes a copy of MDAC. Use of MDAC by you is subject to the terms of the "End User License Agreement for Microsoft Software", a copy of which is included with the program on the Supplemental CD-ROM. In particular, you are granted no right or license to redistribute MDAC. If you wish to acquire the right or a license to redistribute MDAC, you should contact Microsoft Corporation to obtain the necessary authorization.
