Passport Advantage Express Entitlements

A blue triangle with a black background and a dark blue shadow.

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.
