When you elect AWLC for a particular operating system on a CPC,
all of that operating system family's sub-capacity eligible
MLC products are licensed under AWLC on that CPC. Non-sub-capacity eligible
MLC products are considered FWLC products and their pricing is a fixed,
monthly charge unrelated to the capacity of the CPC on which they
run. Sub-capacity AWLC
pricing applies to eligible z/OS® and
z/TPF software products and their associated middleware products when
running on an 
IBM z13™
, zEnterprise® EC12 (zEC12), or zEnterprise 196 (z196) CPC. Sub-capacity AWLC pricing
also applies when running on a zEnterprise BC12 (zBC12) or zEnterprise 114 (z114) CPC, but
only if that CPC is in an actively coupled Parallel Sysplex® that consists only
of zEnterprise CPCs.
- Integrated Workload Pricing (IWP) is an enhancement to AWLC that enables qualifying z/OS customers to add a selected set of workloads to an existing LPAR without increasing the sub-capacity value of other products already running in that LPAR.
- Mobile Workload Pricing (MWP) is an enhancement
to AWLC for when IBM® programs,
such as CICS®, DB2®, IMS™,
MQ, or WebSphere® Application
Server, are processing transactions that originate from mobile devices,
such as tablets and mobile phones. MWP may reduce the cost of growth
for these mobile transactions by potentially reducing the reported
peak capacity values for sub-capacity charges.
- IBM z Systems™ Collocated Application Pricing (zCAP) may reduce
the cost of growth for net new instances of IBM programs, such as CICS, DB2, IMS, MQ, or WebSphere Application Server, when they
are added in support of a new application not previously running on
a mainframe server. zCAP may potentially reduce the reported peak
capacity values for sub-capacity charges.
More information about AWLC pricing is available at Advanced Workload License Charges (AWLC). For details about IWP, see the SCRT user's guide, Using the Sub-Capacity Reporting Tool.
