RE: Re: [hercules-390] Re: I'm downloading z/VM from IBM...

Here is the full section, perhaps the manual referenced would shed some
light on what "proper" means?


Usage Restrictions 

z/VM Version 5 Release 3 Evaluation Edition operates on the IBM System
z10 Enterprise Class (z10 EC). The Program requires hardware that
implements the IBM 64-bit z/Architecture in order to execute properly
and therefore You are not authorized to install or use this Program on
any machine that does not properly implement 64-bit z/Architecture. For
information about specific z/VM machine requirements and programming
requirements, see the z/VM: General Information manual, GC24-6095. 

You may install and use the Program on either standard or Integrated
Facility for Linux (IFL) processors on the z10 EC. 

z/VM may run on IFL processors only if, on the IFL processors, z/VM is
being used exclusively to run (1) Linux workloads and, (2) if required,
z/VM applications in support of those Linux workloads. 

You are licensed to use the Program for evaluation purposes only. You
are not licensed to use the Program for production purposes. You may not
transfer the Program to another party.
