I think we can phrase your last sentence in a clearer way. I'd say it this way.... If you have Monthly License Charge (MLC) or Subscription and Support (S&S), when you order a new product version on Shopz then IBM fulfills that order at no additional charge, per IBM Multi-Version Measurement (MVM) terms: https://www.ibm.com/systems/z/resources/swprice/mvm.html I can't think of any reason why you have to worry about this backend fulfillment/licensing distinction any more, with one exception: if you have a licensed product with S&S *and* if you've let your S&S lapse. Anyway, MVM makes life simpler, and thank goodness.
