I am a Suse Premier Channel Partner and resell their software everyday.
The term server means one physical box. I have copied the following from
the Suse pricebook for 2004 to help clarify:
Enterprise Server 8 for IBM iSeries, incl. 1 year Maintenance Program for 1
server (up to 8 CPUs each) and Installationkit , International
(German,English)
So you can see that when you purchase SLES8 you can have as many instances
as you can run on an up to 8 way box with no additional charge.
Hope this helps,
- Kevin

Please respond to
Linux on 390 Port
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.
Thanks,
Mark Post
