Steve, I get completely lost as soon as the licensing and marketing 
people get involved.  On the one hand, IBM is busily telling everyone 
that for a P05 the minimum user count is one, but yet the same company 
has said that the JS12 is a P05 machine, but you must buy software in 
groups of 10.

Now, the user count for the blade *may* be for just the operating 
system, and you can license the tools at the normal pricing.  I suggest 
you send email to all of the parties involved (such as George Farr) in 
order to get your answer.
