IPLA and Subscription and Support considerations
IPLA licenses can be transferred from one machine to another within,
but not limited to an enterprise. You 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
(PoE). It is your 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.
The WebSphere family of products includes software to meet your
diverse integration needs as they span varying programming models,
qualities of service, and multiple data types. Whether you are
looking to exchange a limited amount of data or implement an
enterprise-wide service-oriented architecture (SOA), you can meet
your current and future needs with WebSphere software.
WebSphere Message Broker makes full use of the transport and
connectivity options from WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Application
Server. It offers additional routing and transformation capabilities
to implement or extend an ESB.
WebSphere Application Server is the leading J2EE application server
and development environment. It includes a built-in JMS engine for
messaging between J2EE applications.
WebSphere MQ, available on more than 80 platform configurations, is
the core of application integration connectivity, and integrates many
differing platforms, systems, and applications. It delivers
heterogeneous messaging, extending your ESB with assured, reliable
message delivery.
WebSphere Message Broker with Rules and Formatter Extension offers
the full level of function provided by IBM WebSphere Message Broker
with additional support for the Rules and Formatter capability from
New Era of Networks. This provides continuity for clients who require
the use of IBM Rules and Formatter nodes.
WebSphere MQ Extended Security Edition enhances WebSphere MQ with
end-to-end, application-level data protection features. It enables
enterprise-wide, remote management of security policies on your MQ
network and can be deployed to existing production environments
without changes to existing WebSphere MQ applications.
WebSphere Partner Gateway is an environment for creating and managing
supply chain partners integrated to your business. It also supports
sending and receiving multiple data types over multiple protocol and
transport layers. Whether you need to connect to just one or two key
supply chain partners or define a network of potentially thousands of
partners, editions of this offering can meet your needs.
Product extensions offer additional supported function available as a
download from the Internet.
Market-leading application integration software from IBM, including
WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Message Broker, helps you:

changes
Service-oriented architecture and enterprise service bus
(ESB)
In an SOA, a connectivity layer often referred to as an ESB optimizes
information distribution between service requesters and service
providers. Each enterprise can deploy its own unique ESB, reflecting
how far it has advanced toward becoming an On Demand Business.
As key members of the IBM WebSphere software portfolio, WebSphere MQ
and WebSphere Message Broker enable you to begin deploying or
widening the deployment of your ESB today.
These programs help maximize the value of your IT investment by
broadening the range of environments this connectivity layer can
reach, such as hardware and operating system platforms and
non-standards-based programming models as well as J2EE and .NET.
For connecting these diverse programming models there needs to be
proven delivery of messages and data between the applications. The
proven delivery mechanisms of WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Application
Server can extend the standards-based enterprise service bus with
reliable connectivity throughout the enterprise. WebSphere
Application Server messaging resources offer an optimal Java Message
Service (JMS) implementation for use with J2EE-hosted applications.
WebSphere MQ seamlessly extends those messaging resources to non-J2EE
environments to integrate with many systems across more than 80
platform configurations.
WebSphere Message Broker adds services such as message routing,
transformation enrichment, and support for a range of message
distribution options and protocols to improve their flexibility and
performance. You can integrate many types of applications on a wide
range of systems, exchanging their data together in real time.
WebSphere software delivers integration capabilities that enable you
to begin reaping the benefits of SOA with connectivity and
integration through an ESB today.
IBM can help you to grow project-by-project toward an On Demand
Business. WebSphere MQ, WebSphere Application Server, and WebSphere
Message Broker play a pivotal role in creating SOAs and will continue
to do so as IBM delivers enhanced capabilities to accelerate the
deployment of an integration infrastructure that spans the entire IT
ecosystem.
IBM recognizes the need to support distributed deployments of
WebSphere Adapters for WebSphere Message Broker customers. IBM
intends to release a product offering to support this in the first
half of 2008.
All statements regarding IBM's plans, directions, and intent are
subject to change or withdrawal without notice.

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.

The program's License Information will be available for review on the
IBM Software License Agreement Web site
Warranty:
IBM warrants that when the Program is used in the specified operating
environment, it will conform to its specifications. The warranty
applies only to the unmodified portion of the Program. IBM does not
warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Program or that
IBM will correct all Program defects. You are responsible for the
results obtained from the use of the Program.
IBM provides you with access to IBM databases containing information
on known Program defects, defect corrections, restrictions, and
bypasses at no additional charge. Consult the IBM Software Support
Guide for further information at
http://www.ibm.com/software/support
IBM will maintain this information for at least one year after the
original licensee acquires the program (warranty period).
Program technical support:
Technical support of a program product will be available for a
minimum of three years from the general availability date, as long as
your Software Maintenance is in effect. This technical support allows
you to obtain assistance (via telephone or electronic means) from IBM
for product-specific, task-oriented questions regarding the
installation and operation of the program product. Software
Maintenance also provides you with access to updates, releases, and
versions of the program. You will be notified, via announcement
letter, of discontinuance of support with 12 months' notice. If you
require additional technical support from IBM, including an extension
of support beyond the discontinuance date, contact your IBM
representative or IBM Business Partner. This extension may be
available for a fee.
The various Program Unique Terms set forth or referred to below apply
to the Program and to its components as identified below, and are in
addition to, and may modify, those of the IBM International Program
License Agreement.
1. Charging and license use management
Charges for authorized use of the Program are based on processor
Value Units. The use of the Program on any server machine requires
one hundred (100) Value Units to be acquired (from IBM or an IBM
Business Partner) for each processor or symmetric multiprocessor
contained in the server machine on which any copy of the Program is
to run. Value Units 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 Value Units
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
Value Units will invalidate the terms of this license.
On distributed platforms, License Use Management software is used to
monitor compliance. You should retain your original product and all
Passport Advantage documents as Proof of Entitlement.
No separate server authorizations are required to license any other
component part of the Program.
Specific restrictions also apply to various components of the
Program, as described below.
2. DataDirect ODBC Driver Manager Components
Portions of this Program are copyrighted by DataDirect Technologies,
1991 - 2003.
3. IBM DB2 Restricted Enterprise Edition
Limited use license DB2 Restricted Enterprise Edition: DB2 Restricted
Enterprise Edition includes portions of DB2 Enterprise Server Edition
V9.1. You are authorized to install and use one copy of this Program
only in association with Your licensed use of WebSphere Message
Broker for the storage and management of data used and generated by
the other IBM program, and not for other data management purposes.
DB2 Restricted Enterprise Edition is to be used only by the internal
components of the program. For example, DB2 Restricted Enterprise
Edition can be used as a repository for configuration information
generated by WebSphere Message Broker and cannot be used to build or
extend custom applications that store business data; this license
does not permit inbound connections to the database from other
applications for queries or report generation. You are not authorized
to install any separately purchasable features that are available for
DB2 unless You purchase a fully licensed version of DB2.
If You use the Program with a separately licensed DB2 Version 9 data
server, the license terms of that data server take precedence over
these terms.
The supplied limited-use license of DB2 can be installed on a
separate server from the Broker Runtime, subject to the processor
Value Unit count of the server that runs the DB2 instance being less
than or equal to the processor Value Unit count of the purchased
licenses of WebSphere Message Broker. The installation and use of
this DB2 license must remain restricted to the information related to
the deployed WebSphere Message Broker server runtimes.
You are allowed to deploy the supplied license of DB2 on a separate
server from the Broker, to aid the centralized management of your
deployment and to assist in your high availability configuration.
Note, however, that DB2 must still be used only with data generated
by, and used by, the Broker. DB2 must not be used with other
user-generated data.
Your use of the DB2 and DB2 Run-time Client components is subject to
the terms and conditions of the license agreement which accompany the
components except as limited in this license. The DB2 components may
not be used for any other purpose. Please contact your DB2 Reseller
if your needs exceed this license agreement, to obtain a full DB2 and
DB2 Run-Time Client program.
4. IBM Derby SDK
The Program includes an embedded version of IBM Derby SDK version
10.2 (or components of IBM Derby SDK version 10.2). Your use of IBM

to redistribute IBM Derby SDK, as modified, as part of those
applications, provided that you: (1) agree to defend, hold harmless
and indemnify IBM from and against any and all claims, liabilities,
damages, expenses and costs arising out of or in connection with your
use or distribution of the Program, modifications thereof, or your
application program(s), and (2) distribute your applications under a
license that states (i) that IBM (or any suppliers of code included
in your application) assumes no responsibility and extend(s) no
warranties covering its (their) code, (ii) disclaims implied
warranties and any indemnities for the IBM (or any suppliers') code,
and (iii) extends to IBM (or any suppliers of code included in your
application) the same cumulative limits of liability protections that
you provide for yourself in your license. Each copy or partial copy
of IBM Derby SDK, or any modifications thereof, must include a
copyright notice as follows:
"(C) Copyright (your company name) (year). Portions of this code are
derived from an IBM Program. (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1997-2004. All

IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support
services to help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic
Services is a Web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive,
no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available
for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide the
opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem
resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises
two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news
page and Electronic Services Agent.
The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point
that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used 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 Electronic Service Agent is no-additional-charge software that
resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system
inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable.
The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems
to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to
deliver proactive service that may result in higher system
availability and performance. In addition, information collected
through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support
representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose
problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent for
problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service
for your IBM server.
