Prices for these recurring charges (MLC) will increase between 5 % and 6% on average depending on the pricing metric. Average VWLC and AWLC increase for a 500 MSU configuration will be around 6%. This pricing announcement does not apply to Entry Workload License Charges (EWLC), Advanced Entry Workload License Charges (AEWLC) or Flat Workload License Charges (FWLC)." See http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/ShowDoc.wss?docURL=/common/ssi/rep_ca/3 /877/ENUSZA11-1053/index.html&lang=en&request_locale=en This is in addition to price increases (IBM call them "price changes") of up to 23% on certain IPLA programs announced in ZA11-1061 effective April 1, 2012, which come on top of the 4% - 5% increase for many WebSphere, IMS, and DB2 products effective Jan 1, 2011 (ZA10-1052).
