Take a look at this announcement letter http://www-306.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/3/897/ENUS206-063/ENUS206-063.PDF
IBM*s licensing policy is summarized below: Number of licenses Cores required Hard- n-Way per per ware refer- ²1-way² ²1-way² vendor Server family Chip family ence server(1) server(1) ------ ---------------- -------------- ------ -------- --------- Intel Multiple Single Core Chip 1 1 or server Dual Core Chip 2 1 AMD families(3) 3 Intel and AMD servers include, but are not limited to, the IBM xSeries* , Dell PowerEdge, HP ProLiant, and SunFire x64 servers. All other servers will require a license for each processor core, unless IBM announces a separate licensing exception for that particular technology. I have been told by our sales rep that it is only per physical chip, not per core. But I'm not sure if that is IBM's official word or not. -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Martoncik Sent: Friday, July 21, 2006 10:21 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: TSM Client Pricing for Intel Dual Core Processors Does anyone know the pricing for TSM client license in a dual core environment?
