I believe the fine print Ts&Cs indicate that if you specify that a product runs on one LPAR or any LPARs of a machine for which it is not licensed that IBM may view that as an order for the products.
Similarly, for products that do generate SMF89 data, if SCRT detects a product on a machine where it is not licensed, that is an order for the product. You can correct this after the fact, but it's better to read the reports and be sure they are what you expect. (LCS highlights the discovery of products running where they are not expected to be running based on your licenses and/or history of product usage). This is the basis of Pat's original question. You are supposed to setup the NO89 parameters to reflect in which LPARs you actually use the NO89 products. This is why LCS detects this, to help sites properly report their usage to IBM.
