License types
The license type is the category of license you have, according to the agreement between your organization and the vendor missuing the product license.
The Licenses application organizes license agreements into three categories, or types. A license agreement can be an IBM® Customer Agreement (ICA), an International Program License Agreement (IPLA), or "generic," which means any license type other than ICA or IPLA.
Tip: There are numerous IBM and non-IBM
license types-too many to describe due to the variety of unique terms
used. However, it is important that you define all your licenses
in some way, if only to maintain a single, complete electronic license
repository. If your license is not the ICA or IPLA type, you can specify
the Generic license type and provide additional qualifying remarks
in the license Description field. In addition
to describing a generic vendor license, you can use the Description field
to explain any deviations from the ICA or IPLA base licenses.
In the Licenses application, you can specify one of the following
values for license type:
- ICA (IBM Customer Agreement)
- This agreement is used to license IBM mainframe software on System z® and S/390®. Under this agreement, which is used for hardware, software, and services, a customer pays a recurring charge, which includes Program Service.
- IPLA (International Program License Agreement)
- This agreement is used to license mainframe and distributed software. For software licensed (never sold) under this agreement, a customer pays a one-time fee for a specific amount of capacity that can be used anywhere within the enterprise.
- Generic
- Any license type other than ICA or IPLA.
If you have migrated from License Compliance Manager to Maximo IT, use the following table to map
your License Compliance Manager license types to the Maximo IT license type and other associated
parameters. Note that the License Compliance Manager types all convert
to IPLA enterprise-wide, distributed licenses, and that for distributed software the license
charge period is always daily.
