Authorized user
An authorized user is one and only one individual (named or unnamed) within or
outside your enterprise. A Proof of Entitlement (PoE) must be obtained for each
individual user accessing the program in any manner. A program licensed under an
authorized user PoE may be installed on a single computer or server, and accessed
by multiple users, provided that a PoE has been obtained for each individual user
accessing the program either directly or indirectly (via a multiplexing program,
device, or application server) through any means on behalf of the user.
Note that authorized users have unique specific identity and IDs cannot be shared.
An ID can establish one or more connections and count as a single authorized user.
Specific information to security products:
Enterprise
An enterprise is a person or single entity and those subsidiaries with more than 50
percent ownership.
Server
A server is a computer system that executes requested procedures, commands,
or applications to one or more user or client devices over a network. A PoE must
be obtained for each server on which the program or a component of the program
is run or for each server managed by the program. Where blade technology is
employed, each blade is considered a separate server.
Standby or backup systems
For programs running or resident on backup machines, IBM defines three types of
situations: cold, warm and hot. In cold and warm situations, a separate entitlement
for the copy on the backup machine is normally not required and typically no
additional charge applies. In a hot backup situation, the customer needs to acquire
other license or entitlements sufficient for that server. All programs running in
backup mode must be solely under the customer's control, even if running at
another enterprise's location.
As a practice, the following are definitions and allowable actions concerning the copy
of the program used for backup purposes.
Cold: A copy of the program may reside, for backup purposes, on a machine as long
as the program is not started. There is no additional charge for this copy.
Warm: A copy of the program may reside for backup purposes on a machine and is
started, but is idling, and is not doing any work of any kind. There is no additional
charge for this copy.
Hot: A copy of the program may reside for backup purposes on a machine, is
started, and is doing work. The customer must acquire a license or entitlements for
this copy and there will generally be an additional charge.
Doing work includes, for example, production, development, program maintenance,
and testing. It also could include other activities such as mirroring of transactions,
updating of files, synchronization of programs, data or other resources (for example,
active linking with another machine, program, database or other resource, and so
on), or any activity or configurations that would allow an active hot switch or other
synchronized switch over between programs, databases, or other resources to occur.
In the case of a program or system configuration that is designed to support a
high availability environment by using various techniques (for example, duplexing,
mirroring of files, or transactions, maintaining a heartbeat, active linking with
another machine, program, database, or other resource), the program is considered
to be doing work in the hot situation and a license or entitlement must be
purchased.
