Discussing all things TM1, Planning Analytics, PAx and PAW

The following link confirms it as well. PAL is the principle program and PAW is a supporting program.rogram Name (Program Number):
IBM Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.43 (Tool)
IBM Planning Analytics Workspace Non-Production 2.0.43 (Tool)
The following standard terms apply to Licensee's use of the Program.
Limited use right
As described in the International Program License Agreement ("IPLA") and this License Information, IBM grants Licensee a limited right to use the Program. This right is limited to the level of Authorized Use, such as a Processor Value Unit ("PVU"), a Resource Value Unit ("RVU"), a Value Unit ("VU"), or other specified level of use, paid for by Licensee as evidenced in the Proof of Entitlement.
Program Name (Program Number):
IBM Planning Analytics Local TM1 Server 2.0.8 (5737-B03)
IBM Planning Analytics Local TM1 Server for Non-Production Environment 2.0.8 (5737-B03)
The following standard terms apply to Licensee's use of the Program.

Supporting Programs:
- IBM Planning Analytics Workspace
- IBM Planning Analytics Workspace for Non-Production
It is clearly saying if you install PAW onto another machine, then that machine requires PVU as well to be as entitlements.For example, if this Program were licensed on a PVU (Processor Value Unit) basis and Licensee were to install the Principal Program or a Supporting Program on a 100 PVU machine (physical or virtual) and another Supporting Program on a second 100 PVU machine, Licensee would be required to obtain 200 PVU entitlements to the Program.
It also lists Planning Analytics for Excel as a supporting program, so it would require every client to be PVU licensed? I think something's off, will check with our IBM contactsmacsir wrote: ↑Thu Dec 26, 2019 1:48 am

Very interesting!!!
This sentence has the "if" condition in the front. Therefore, it doesn't say all of them from the list is PVU-based. (PAx is not clearly.)For example, if this Program were licensed on a PVU (Processor Value Unit) basis and Licensee were to install the Principal Program or a Supporting Program on a 100 PVU machine (physical or virtual) and another Supporting Program on a second 100 PVU machine, Licensee would be required to obtain 200 PVU entitlements to the Program.
Thanks, guys for the double-checking. Yes, I got same confirmation from IBM too. Now I am very exciting to have my new Linux box to run PAW!stephen waters wrote: ↑Mon Jan 06, 2020 5:41 pm I have checked again with IBM and they have pointed out a further clause in the license document which says:
Components Used for Establishing Required Entitlements
When determining the number of entitlements required for Licensee's installation or use of the Program, the installation or use of only the following Program components are taken into consideration. In other words, Licensee may install and use Program components other than those listed below, under the license terms, but only the listed components are used to determine the number of entitlements required for the Program.
- TM1 Server
This appears to contradict the earlier clause about supported programs but I have been told it takes precedence and have been assured by IBM that "PAW installs do not count towards the PVU entitlement count".
So, looks like the license document is just another example of IBM trying to confuse people !
