Ronald Campbell of IBM responded to a similar question recently on the VSE listserv. Here's a copy of that response:

According to IBM Licensing rules, if you have BOTH VM and VSE, you will
ONLY pay for the higher of the 2. 5696-234 actually has 3 licenses, one for
VSE ONLY, one for VM ONLY and one for VM/VSE. If you have both VM and VSE
then you should only be paying for one.
If you have an issue, please contact me OFF LINE so I can help....Ron

Hello Everyone,

We have High Level Assembler for z/VM and for VSE. The product number is the same
for both 5696-234.

Can some one explain the billing process? We are being charged two times for this,
seemly, one product.
