Withdrawal Announcement
September 29, 1998
Announcement Letter Number: 998-295
Currently, IBM offers many different licensing options for MVS (TM), OS/390 (R), and other software products on the platform. These options have evolved over time to meet changing customer requirements and changing technologies. Effective January 1, 2000, IBM will withdraw a number of older price options for MVS and OS/390 products to significantly reduce the analysis and billing complexities faced by customers and IBM when license changes are made or new licenses are ordered. These products are listed in the Withdrawn Products section.
Effective January 1, 2000, the Graduated Monthly License Charge (GMLC), Monthly License Charge (flat MLC), Distributed System License Option (DSLO), Multiple Operating System -- PR/SM (TM) charge options (MOSP), Primary License Charge (PLC) / Annual License Charge (ALC), and Indexed Monthly License charges (IMLC) are being withdrawn from marketing for all S/390 (R) brand products that have Parallel Sysplex (R) License Charges (PSLC). These products with charge options (S/390 brand products in a MVS or OS/390 environment) are listed in the Withdrawn Products section. Effective January 1, 2000, these products can only be ordered with a Parallel Sysplex License Charge (PSLC) or S/390 Usage Pricing (if available). Therefore, customers will not be required to have coupling capable hardware on these products after January 1, 2000, to be licensed for PSLC. The requirements for aggregated PSLC pricing remain unchanged by this announcement. Customers must continue to meet the qualification criteria defined in the Exhibit for Parallel Sysplex License Charges (Z125-5206) in order to be eligible for aggregated PSLC pricing. In addition, all new S/390 brand software products, running in a MVS or OS/390 environment, announced after today will only be available with a PSLC or S/390 Usage Pricing (if available). Software products running in VM and VSE environments are not affected by this announcement.
Customers who have licenses using these withdrawn price options on December 31, 1999, will retain their existing group charges on those licenses until they select an alternative price option (that is, PSLC, S/390 Usage Pricing). Any machine (capacity) change that results in a different monthly charge will continue to be eligible for group upgrades or downgrades.
In a similar announcement, effective January 1, 1999, IBM will withdraw One-Time Charge (OTC) and Graduated One-Time Charge (GOTC) options on all S/390 brand products that have a monthly charge option. Refer to Software Announcement 998-294 dated September 29, 1998
