Advanced Entry Workload License Charges (AEWLC)

Coinciding with the announcement of the IBM zEnterprise 114 (z114) server, IBM introduces a new software pricing structure called Advanced Entry Workload License Charges (AEWLC). The AEWLC pricing metric leverages the reporting mechanisms and existing Millions of Service Units per hour (MSU) tiers of the Entry Workload License Charges (EWLC) pricing metric and the Midrange Workload License Charges (MWLC) pricing metric while extending the software price performance provided by the EWLC and MWLC tiers. AEWLC applies only to eligible z/OS, z/TPF, and z/VSE operating systems and their associated middle ware programs when running on a z114 server. For additional AEWLC information, refer to Software Announcement 211-250.
