Re: ZNALC Option for LICENSE Parameter
There is no technical restriction on the number of TSO users if you are using zNALC licensing. However, in order to be eligible for zNALC pricing you must have a qualifying application. Some applications qualify automatically, such as WAS, Lotus Domino, and some others. Some will qualify because they are available commercially on other platforms than z/OS, but are also available on z/OS. Products like Adabas/Natural and Oracle can be run on other platforms, but if you choose to run them on z/OS you will be rewarded by getting zNALC pricing. Any application that runs on a distributed server (Unix, Linux, Windows, ...) but uses DB2 on z/OS as a data base server also qualifies. Powerbuilder, Siebel, PeopleSoft and any RYO windows application are examples of these applications which qualify for zNALC pricing. OK back to the TSO users. You are entitled to run other workload on the zNALC z/OS image only if the other workload is in support of the qualifying application. The rules do not specify what in support of means. Are *all* your TSO users supporting the application? Is the HSM running there supporting the application? It seems to me that it would be if it were backing up the files that the application support people use. Similarly Netview and Systems Automation products also are in support of the main application. There is no clear definition of what entails support, but *you* as the customer must certify once a year that everything running on the zNALC logical partition is in support of a qualifying application.

ZNALC Option for LICENSE Parameter
I seem to remember that if your system was IPL'ed in zOSe mode you were limited to 8 TSO userids at a time. Does ZNALC have the same enforced restriction or anything else that we have to keep in mind?

Does ZNALC have the same enforced restriction or anything else that we have to keep in mind? No, under zNALC you can have as many TSO users as you like.
