BMC does have sub-capacity licensing so I highly doubt they check total MIPS but I believe they are model and serial dependent. Our Control/M license is usage based (number of jobs) not MIPS based.

Hi, I'm looking to find out if anyone knows if BMC products make use of CPU Serial alone or MIPS and CPU serial for it's licensing checks? We're planning on adding MIPS to the system by moving to a higher config for an additional LPAR but the added LPAR will have no BMC products and we currently do not have a support contract and are not getting any information from documentation. Some of our other product suppliers informed us their products do check the amount of available MIPS but will still function normally, a warning will just be issued. The BMC products are on version 8.0.03 (Control O, M and T/M-Tape) Regards, E van Wyk ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
