Rename Virtual Processor Core (VPC) in the DB2 edition-specific license policy.

Rename Virtual Processor Core (VPC) in the DB2 edition-specific license policy.

The resource limitations described for Db2 Standard Edition in db2 luw NC reads 'You are restricted to 16 virtual processor cores and 128 GB of instance memory'.

This misleads many people, and even English-language websites introducing DBMSs list the CPU limit for Db2 Standard Edition as 16 cores,

In a Korean online IT media broadcast a few days ago, IBMer explained that the CPU limit for Db2 Standard Edition is 16 core.

(I think it's rather strange that anyone doesn't think this way).

I also introduced to an overseas corporation that it can use up to 16 core, and the corporation purchased it, but it was not 16 core, but VPC (Virtual Processor Core), which is used to calculate the license.

The 16 VPC on my server is 2 cores (2 VP value), and I think it would be very embarrassing and unpleasant if a first-time buyer or someone who is experiencing the service went through something like this (I am an existing user, but I feel embarrassed, angry, and bad because of the memories caused by the above-mentioned things).

I think there should definitely be a correction to the terminology or a detailed explanation behind the VPC.

The URL below in Korean also lists the 'performance limit' for the 'Standard Edition' as '16 cores, 128 GB RAM'.
