As you’ve already figured out, you license IBM Personal Communications via the IBM Host Access Client Package (“HACP”). This license includes Personal Communications (for Windows) and Host On-Demand for all supported platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows, etc.) One license entitlement = one authorized user. It’s not per installation, so if there’s only one of you then the license quantity would be 1 even if you’re going to use two PCs/laptops. If your sibling for example wants to use this software then she/he would need another license.
You then need the IBM Passport Advantage part numbers, but I can help with that. (You can find them in past announcement letters, but I looked them up for you.) There are two part numbers of particular interest: D6152LL: new license with the first 12 months of Subscription & Support D6154LL: trade up license with first 12 months S&S “Trade up” means you’ve got some other “competitive” software product that this product is going to replace. You have to stop using whatever that other product is. A search using (your favorite Internet search engine) finds multiple distributors selling both of these part numbers, so the rest should be fairly easy.
