IBM PVU licensing, reconciled
Processor Value Unit sub-capacity is one of the most audit-prone models in enterprise IT. RenewalIntel reconciles your Passport Advantage entitlements against ILMT sub-capacity usage — and turns any gap into an evidence-backed dollar number, before IBM does.
Three ways PVU exposure hides
Processor-value-unit math
Every eligible processor carries a PVU rating from IBM's table. Entitlement is cores × PVU-per-core — easy to under-count as clusters grow.
The ILMT requirement
Sub-capacity licensing is only allowed if IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT) is installed and reporting. Lapsed or missing ILMT means IBM can bill at full capacity.
Full-capacity penalty
Without valid sub-capacity reports, every core in the environment counts — often several times the entitlement you actually need.
From Passport Advantage to a defensible position
Bring in your data
Pull Passport Advantage entitlements and ILMT sub-capacity reports — via export or the read-only on-prem agent. Nothing reaches into your network.
Reconcile per product
RenewalIntel maps entitled PVUs against deployed PVUs per product, applies sub-capacity eligibility, and computes your position.
Get the verdict + fix
A clear compliance verdict, per-product over-deployment gaps, and priced recommendations — backed by the underlying calculation.
