This interesting little tidbit showed up today. It says that the per-CPU licensing for SLES8 on iSeries and pSeries is being changed to "per-install." (The announcement also uses the term "per-server install.")
Perhaps someone from IBM could comment on this. Does this mean that if someone uses the hypervisor to create (for example) 10 Linux LPARs, they would be charged for 10 licenses, when they might have been charged much less on a per-CPU basis? It's rather vague, and I don't want to spread misinformation if I can avoid it.
