Help in understanding DB2 licencing for linux

[Massimiliano Campagnoli]

Hy,
I find the licencing shema for DB2 pretty confusing.

I need to buy a DB2 Workgroup Edition V11 for Linux.
I've 3 users accessing the database using several different applications.
Each application always connect to the database using the same credential, regardless the user using it; moreover some applications run in batch mode, unattented, without any human users accessing them.

The server is a 1 CPU 4 cores processor.

What licence should I buy ?

PVU or AUSI ?

If AUSI, how many users should I licence ?

Is there a minimum number of users to be licenced for DB2 Workgroup edition ?


Thanks for your help.

I find it easiest to contact a sales rep, describe the situation
(machine, number of users etc) and have them figure out what license
that is cheapest.
