Use of Server Enterprise Edition licenses are subject to the terms and conditions in your End-user Software License Agreement.
In general, Server Enterprise Edition licenses are required for:
- End users. These licenses enable end users to run applications in production.
- Developers. These licenses enable developers to test run applications, while developing them. These licenses are for testing purposes only. On Windows, developers test applications on a separate machine from the one containing the development system.
The types of license available are as follows:
| Type of License (Old Model 1) |
License Units that are Counted |
| Developer test |

You can get your old model 1 licenses converted to new model 2 licenses. For more information contact your sales representative.
- Windows:
- If you are already licensed to use Server Enterprise Edition for an application that is executed on a particular machine, you may not need a separate Server Enterprise Edition license for another application on that same machine. This varies according to the license purchased.
- UNIX:
- For each installation of Server Enterprise Edition you must use all model 1 licenses or all model 2 licenses. However, on a single machine you can have multiple installations of Server and each installation can use one model or the other. The new model 2 licenses are shared across all installations of Server Enterprise Edition on a UNIX machine.
- 64-bit on AIX:
- If you install the 64-bit version of Server on AIX, you receive licenses for the 64-bit version. Any licenses associated with a 32-bit version of Server on AIX remain enabled. You cannot use 32-bit licenses with 64-bit Server on AIX, nor can you use 64-bit licenses with 32-bit Server on AIX.
- .NET:
-
If you want to run .NET applications you must have a valid .NET license installed.
