SW Licenses

Activating a processor does not change the software tier for Model 825, 870, or 890.

Many partners use the Processor Feature Code value available on the server to set SW licensing fees for software developers software. This value continues to be available for all iSeries servers. It is important to understand that this value does not change, no matter how many standby processors get permanently or temporarily activated. The Processor Feature Code value (QPRCFEAT) can be displayed using the command WRKSYSVAL or retrieved using the RTVSYSVAL command.

Software providers that charge SW licensing fees (ie. Operating Systems, middleware, applications, etc.) on a per processor basis, have historically utilized a "soft" compliance approach. With each permanent or temporary processor activation, it remains the customer's responsibility to inform and pay the required SW licensing fees associated with software that will be used on the activated processor(s).

Point1: When a permanent processor activation (POD Activation Feature) is ordered, any required charges for IBM software (licensed by processor), is automatically initiated via IBM configurator

Point2: When a temporary processor activation is requested on the server, any required

charges for IBM software (licensed by processor), is the sole responsibility of the customer ... with the exception of OS/400 ... there are no additional OS/400 licensing charges associated

with a temporary processor activation

The MATMATR Option OXO1F4 can be used to determine what capacity is active at any moment in time. Permanent: Check the field at offset 0x38, to determine how many processors have

been permanently activated (this field represents the quantity of permanently activated processors at any point in time)

Temporary: Check the field at offset 0x47, to determine how many processors have been temporarily activated (this field represents the quantity of temporarily activated processors

at any point in time)
