Zoltan,
SPP is included in the Spectrum Protect Suite since version 8.1.4 
Spectrum Protect 8.1.4 Suites include entitlement for Spectrum Protect
Plus. 
Spectrum Protect Plus is measured on a per Managed Virtual Server, or
virtual machine (VM), metric. 1 TB of Spectrum Protect Suite or
Spectrum Protect Suite Entry entitles a customer to protect 10 VMs with
Spectrum Protect Plus. 1 TB of Spectrum Protect Suite - Front End or
Spectrum Protect Suite Entry - Front End entitles a customer to protect
15 VMs with Spectrum Protect Plus.
When consuming Spectrum Protect Plus through Spectrum Protect Suite
licensing, offload of data from Spectrum Protect Plus to Spectrum
Protect Server is included in Spectrum Protect Plus entitlement. In
this case, the capacity of the data offloaded is not required to be
measured nor does it require additional capacity entitlement. 
Please have a look a the announcement.https://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi
