Catalog row in Vendor License Rules · Cited
- Kind
- Cloud / BYOL
- Statement
- IBM Eligible Public Cloud BYOSL Policy (retrieved 2026-08-31): footnotes “do not apply universally to all offerings.” Where the EPC table footnotes Note 3 (Oracle Cloud Compute Instances): “An Oracle Compute Unit (OCPU) corresponds to two hardware execution threads, known as vCPUs. PVU licensing requires 1 OCPU = 2 vCPU = 140 PVU.” Oracle Cloud Compute only. Note 1’s 70-flat rate does not apply here. This mapping does not extend to Oracle ACE (different vendor policy).
- Applies when
- Deploying IBM PVU-licensed software on Oracle Cloud Compute Instances as an Eligible Public Cloud under BYOSL, where IBM footnotes Note 3.
- Applies to
- Oracle Cloud Compute Instances under Eligible Public Cloud BYOSL (IBM-footnoted Note 3). Not Oracle ACE. Not a universal IBM cloud mapping.
