How to Calculate License Compliancy for IBM

You can calculate your license compliancy position for the IBM software packages using the Processor Value Unit, which is a unit of measure used to differentiate licensing of IBM software on distributed processor technologies. The number of required licenses per processor is determined by multiplying the number of processor chips where IBM software is installed by the number of cores per chip. Then, the resulting value is multiplied by a processor value unit multiplier that IBM provides.

You can also see reports on PVU values if you configure adapters to push certain data to Asset Manager. For more information, see the section describing integrations in the Universal CMDB Discovery and Integrations Content Guide.

License calculations of full capacity (non-virtualized) environments are supported only.
