When a new component product is added to an existing CEO Product Category, all licensed customers of that CEO Product Category who have active Software Subscription and Support [may also be referred to as Software Maintenance] coverage are entitled to the added component.

When a component product is removed from an existing CEO Product Category, licensed customers of that CEO Product Category may continue to use the deleted component product at either the release/version level of the component product at the time of its deletion from the CEO Product Category, or the release/version that was current at the time that the customer's Software Subscription and Support coverage for the CEO Product Category lapsed, whichever is earlier. In either case, the number of users of the deleted component product cannot be increased above the level licensed at the time of the deletion of the component product from the CEO Product Category.

When a component product of an existing CEO Product Category is replaced by another product, all licensed customers of that CEO Product Category who have active Software Subscription and Support may coverage at the time of the replacement are entitled to the replaced component.

Other important terms apply to obtaining CEO Product Categories, including the requirement that the first CEO Product Category obtained for use by a customer must be deployed across the customer's entire Enterprise, AND that it must be obtained for at least the minimum initial user quantity shown. Please refer to the IBM Passport Advantage Agreement or the IBM Passport Advantage Express Agreement, as applicable, for terms concerning CEO Product Categories.
