In past years we have received quite a few questions regarding the licensing model used by IBM Compilers on AIX and Linux on Power, such as:
1. I have a valid compiler license and use the compiler on Server A. My colleague also works on Server A. Can he/she use the compiler too?
2. If NO for 1., what are my options if several people of my company need to use the compiler.
3. I have a valid compiler license and use the compiler on Server A. Now I need to use the compiler on Server B. Do I need a new license?
4. I heard the stand-alone C compiler (XL C for AIX) is no longer offered now. What are my options for upgrading my XL C for AIX license?
