Content
On February 16, 2016, IBM announced IBM API Connect, which enables enterprises to accelerate their digital transformation powered by APIs and micro-services. This is an exciting new release that consolidates the market-leading capabilities of IBM API Management, IBM StrongLoop and IBM SDK for Node.js.
On May 31, 2016, IBM announced the end of market for API Management and SDK for Node.js. IBM API Connect is the successor to IBM API Management, IBM StrongLoop and IBM SDK for Node.js. IBM will help customers migrate their current entitlements for existing products to equivalent entitlements for corresponding IBM API Connect editions. See the Entitlement Migration Summary section below for more information.
Please note that IBM will continue to support existing API Management and SDK for Node.js releases and will give 12 months notice before ending their support, giving customers the time needed to plan and complete migration to IBM API Connect release.

| Enterprise Edition ( p > 24 Processes) | 1 Entitlement to D1LLDLL: IBM API Connect Professional (Monthly License) with 5 million API calls per month and x PVUs of D1LMELL: IBM API Connect Create for Node.js PVU Monthly License x = [(number of processes of IBM SDK for Node.js) x 70] - 600* |
IBM SDK for Node.js
Customers who have IBM SDK for Node.js will be entitled to IBM API Connect Professional. Entitlements will be mapped as described in the following table.
| Currently Entitled Eligible Product(s) | Newly Entitled Product(s) |

| D1JTILL: IBM SDK for Node.js Linux on System z Process Monthly License | 1 Entitlement to D1LLELL: IBM API Connect Professional for z Systems 5 Million Monthly API Calls Monthly License x PVUs of D1LMFLL: IBM API Connect Create for Node.js for z Systems PVU Monthly License x = [(number of processes of IBM SDK for Node.js) x 70] - 600* |
* By default, API Connect Professional customers are entitled to 600 PVUs of API Connect Create for Node.js. After entitlement migration, if customers have a larger number of PVUs than 600, then they get the larger number less the default 600 PVUs (1 Process = 70 PVUs).
