License Agreement for Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code

Resolving The Problem

Overview

Machine Code, which includes Licensed Internal Code (LIC), is all of the following:

• (i) all code provided for a Machine (including, without limitation, a Machine’s firmware and microcode), excluding code that is licensed under a license agreement other than the IBM License Agreement for Machine Code (for example, IBM operating system and middleware products); and
• (ii) records, data, and structures created, used or relied on by the code in item (i) (for example, IBM System z mainframe LIC Configuration Control records and passwords that help restrict access or use of the code in item (i)).

The term Machine Code includes any whole or partial copy of Machine Code, and any fix, patch, or replacement provided for Machine Code.

IBM licenses Machine Code only under the terms set forth in the IBM License Agreement for Machine Code (“License Agreement”), and only to the extent of IBM authorizations for use of the Built-in Capacity that was Properly Acquired and Activated (as such terms are defined in the License Agreement) and is used in accordance with the IBM Authorized Use Table for IBM Machines.
