Subject: Counting licenses of IBM i.

How do you see how you are using your licenses of IBM i when using multiple LPARs?
WRKLICINF. I see a 5051 and on some systems a 5053.

If I look at the 5051 I see an entry like Usage Count Information:
All partitions . . . . . : 12.00
Local partition . . . . . : 4.00
If I add up all the partitions 'local partition' entries I get 19. This confuses me as this number is greater than 12.
I'm using shared processing pools. Basically to get by licensing rules from some vendors. (Why pay to run their software on your whole box when only one partition runs it?) When I look at processor on the HMC and add up the 'Allocated' for the lpars of IBM i I get 10.5.
