> Does anyone know how IBM licenses the priced HCM feature of zOS? > By user, CEC or site license? A quick review of the z/OS components involved here: - The Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD) component of z/OS is part of the z/OS Base feature and runs in every z/OS LPAR. - The Hardware Configuration Manager (HCM) optional priced feature of z/OS is a PC-based client/server interface to HCD. The licensing rule is: HCM only needs to be licensed once for each PC that the customer wants to run HCM upon. Technically this would mean HCM only needs to be licensed once per customer enterprise, but as a practical matter it is probably more likely to be licensed once per customer location (which is typically represented by one customer number). -- David J.
