However, when you move to another processor that relationship will change. IBM changes the ratio to keep the cost of the system software products from going even higher than they already do. As Ted MacNeil posted the only use of the software MSUs is for sub-capacity pricing and that is not done at an individual task level. It is done by IBM product and you get charged for the highest rolling 4 hour average of MSUs in the month for all the LPARs the product is executing on.
