On some products (e.g. Mainview) we license x MIPS and send SCRT reports to BMC monthly. As long as our peak 4HA for the year is under our license we are OK. Usage for Control/M is based on reports from Control/M on number of jobs run.

You mentioned Usage. Interestingly enough, at least to me, is that BMC is one of the vendors that doesn't seem to use IFAUSAGE - so no Usage Data sections in SMF 30 and (I would guess) nothing in SMF 89. I'm not sure what to make of that, except to assume their licencing works differently. Anyone care to enlighten me?

Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> Thanks for the info Ken. That's one of our worries with the increased MIPS our serial will still be the same but the model number will obviously change and we are not on any capacity or usage charge so we have no idea how the products will react with the change in model and if they will still continue working or not. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
