Take a look at this announcement letter
http://www-306.ibm.com/common/ssi/rep_ca/3/897/ENUS206-063/ENUS206-063.PDF
IBM*s licensing policy is summarized below:
Number of
licenses
Cores required
Hard- n-Way per per
ware refer- ²1-way² ²1-way²
vendor Server family Chip family ence server(1) server(1)
------ ---------------- -------------- ------ -------- ---------
Intel Multiple Single Core Chip 1 1
or server Dual Core Chip 2 1
AMD families(3)
3 Intel and AMD servers include, but are not limited to, the IBM xSeries* ,
Dell PowerEdge, HP ProLiant, and SunFire x64
servers.
All other servers will require a license for each processor core, unless IBM
announces a separate licensing exception
for that particular technology.
I have been told by our sales rep that it is only per physical chip, not
per core. But I'm not sure if that is IBM's official word or not.
