The following table describes the three types of licensed capacity: used capacity, mounted capacity, and unlimited capacity. The type you select depends on the software application.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Used capacity | The licensed capacity is calculated by using one of the following capacities:
If the pool contains pool volumes that belong in accelerated compression-enabled parity groups, you must purchase physical capacity of the pool for the license capacity. |
| Mounted capacity /usable capacity | The licensed capacity is estimated by using the capacity of all the volumes in the storage system. When you estimate for the capacity of the accelerated compression-enabled parity groups, the physical capacity of the parity group is the maximum of the estimated capacity, even if you created an internal volume which exceeds the physical capacity of the accelerated compression-enabled parity group. See the Provisioning Guide for an explanation of accelerated compression. |
| Unlimited capacity | You can use the software regardless of the volume capacity. |
The following table lists the software options and specifies the licensed capacity type for each option.

* If you use Dynamic Provisioning, Dynamic Provisioning for Mainframe, Dynamic Tiering, or Dynamic Tiering for Mainframe V-VOLs as P-VOLs or S-VOLs of the following software applications, the license capacity is calculated using the page capacity allocated to the V-VOLs (that is, used pool capacity).
