No, only z/OS-based software is eligible. Plus apps like WAS, SAP, Seibel, etc. are necessary to get the zNALC pricing approval.

I guess I missed reading about zNALC. Does it also apply to z/VM? I.E. can I put my traditional VM (not LINUX NOT IFL) on 1 engine on my 54-way and pay for 1 engine instead of all of them?

Here is another consideration for this discussion: Until recently, deploying WAS on z/OS was very cost prohibitive, especially with the OTC and S&S costs. However, with the zNALC pricing announcement providing LPAR pricing, the playing field changed. Now you can create and control a WAS-only lpar and how many MSUs you want it to consume. z/OS, its features and some other charges for that lpar possibly drop to single digits (in the thousands of $$$ and are separate from normal z/OS WLC charges). Of course, some good reasons for this setup could assume your backstore (DB2) is on the same platform, zAAPs can be available and other synergies can be achieved (high availability, GDPS, etc.). What is nice about z/Linux and ZNALC is that you now have application, business and infrastructural *choices* that won't break the bank based strictly on processor license cost issues we all have observed on Unix platforms and full capacity-based IPLA product charges under z/OS.
