ASL Definition What is Application-Specific Licensing? An IBM Software Group contract in which the business partner acquires IBM software, bundles it with the partner s own software & services, and markets the integrated solution offering to clients. Your solution. Your customer. Your profit. WHAT QUALIFIES AS ASL CONTRACTUALLY Solution - The offering that is created when our Programs and your Value-Add Components work together. Value-Add Components - Your products listed in the Transaction Document that you must include in your Solution.

What is ASL? A business model available IBM Business Partners (BPs) in which the BP purchases IBM licensed products to bundle into their solution(s). The BP purchases the licenses directly from IBM or, in some countries, from IBM Value Add Distributors (VADs) The IBM licenses are restricted for use only within the BP s total solution and are sold as part of the BP s solution - not as part of separate agreement, such as under the resell model. The BP retains ownership of the IBM license and provides Level 1 and Level 2 support to its customers. 6
