Ya I noticed that also when I went to order it in Passport. He-he. If the 
software is "free" and "required", why would they care about how many PVUs it 
requires?....

This has got to be the classic software chicken/egg syndrome:

In order to calculate the cost of the licensing cost tool you must know how 
many license units of the licensing software you need to license.
