How to buy MWLC pricing

Midrange Workload License Charge (MWLC) is a new monthly license charge price metric on the IBM System z9 and z10 servers. It applies to z/VSE V4 and 12 key VSE-related middleware programs such as CICS TS for VSE, ACF/VTAM for VSE, and DB2 Server for VSE. MWLC is available on z9 EC, z9 BC and z10 EC servers with z/VSE V4.
