CICS Transaction Server 5.2 Value Unit Edition

CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS® is available in different editions to give you flexibility to try before you buy or to take advantage of different price options. These editions are CICS Transaction Server (the base edition), Developer Trial, and Value Unit Edition (VUE). CICS TS VUE 5.2 provides a one-time-charge (OTC) price model, aimed at eligible workloads that include Java applications deployed in qualifying IBM Z New Application License Charge (zNALC) logical partitions (LPARs).

The product documentation applies equally to all three editions, unless specifically stated. Where you read CICS Transaction Server, you can assume that it refers also to Developer Trial and Value Unit Edition.
