Thank you, Thomas for the crisp answer.
On a similar note, do we know if RD&T works on 1 Core / 1 RVU license?
AFAIK, RD&T is only sold with a 3-CPU license (I'm in the US, so in
another country, YMMV). That's what I have with my RD&T. I believe IBM
did this in the US because the 1-CPU licenses they had been offering did
not provide the best user experience.

The licenses that are licensed by number of users (either named or floating)
always come in 3-processor mode, but the RVU licenses, as implied above,
come with a variable number of enabled processors, from 1 upward. The
latest version of zPDT enforces the "N+1" cores to enabled processor
restriction that has just been a recommendation in the past.
For most workloads, one processor (running on at least two cores) will
provide very good performance for one or multiple users. We have systems
with 15 - 20 typical developers who are very happy on a system with a single
enabled processor.
