ABSTRACT:
A method comprises recognizing a need for an additional resource to be made available to a target computer workload. A determination is made whether said target workload is licensed for additional resource. If the determination is positive, the resource is transferred to the target workload. If the determination is negative, a license is transferred from a source workload, and then the resource is transferred to the target workload.
