Entitlements are central to your Passport Advantage and IBM Software Subscription and Support experience.
For each ‘Eligible Product’ you purchase, you receive a Proof of Entitlement (“PoE”) from IBM specifying a level of authorized use. P oEs (supported by a matching paid invoice or receipt) serve as evidence of Customer’s level of authorized use.
