Rob:

On zSeries you require a RHEL license for each processor which
allows a maximum of 25 Linux guests. So if you have 70 Linux
guests and 2 IFLs you need 3 licenses.

On ALL other architectures, the RHEL license is per image. So on
"Intel" with VMware, iSeries or pSeries with LPARs or the POWER
Hypervisor, HP systems with LPAR/VPAR, etc. you need a license
for each image. If you were running 10 images of RHEL under
VMware on a 2-way XEON you would need 10 licenses.

Put the zSeries RHEL charge in perspective!
