Re: LPARS, Processor Groups and Serial Numbers

I've been seeing mostly the opposite one system = one charge regardless of 
partitions.  Bet is it will end up the way  you claim eventually.

I frequently have customers call me to ask us what our licensing policy is 
regarding LPAR.  Since we charge (partially) based on tier group, we do not 
charge extra by partition.  However I've had several customers comment that 
we were the first software vendor they'd talked to who *wasn't* doing so.  I 
don't know who the other vendors were, but it makes sense to me that if the 
software if based 'per system' without regard to tier, the vendor would be 
more likely to charge extra for loading it on multiple partitions than if the 
software was tier priced.
