SySAM Sub-capacity Licensing

You can license a physical machine, machine partition, or a resource partition using sub-capacity licensing.

Subject to the terms of your software license agreement and product documentation, you may be able to license a subset of the CPUs available on a physical machine using the SySAM Sub-capacity license functionality. See your software license agreement and product documentation to determine whether SySAM Sub-capacity licensing is allowed and if so, what type of partition or resource allocation technologies are supported.

There are also new and changed definitions you will encounter. See SySAM Sub-capacity Glossary of Definitions in the Sybase Software Asset Management (SySAM) 2 Users Guide.
