Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device to intensify capacity restriction imposed by a software license agreement in an information processing system separated into a plurality logical partitions. SOLUTION: A job load management program to be executed by partitions measures actual consumption of processor resources by the logical partitions for prescribed average time intervals of addition and compares the measured actual consumption with the maximum allowable consumption. If the actual consumption exceeds the maximum allowable consumption, the job load management program calculates a capping pattern and caps the actual consumption of the processor resources by the partitions based on the calculated capping pattern by mutually acting with a logical partition management program. Pseudo weights are further allocated to the partitions. The logical partition management program judges whether or not an allowable shared level of the processor resource is exceeded by adding the pseudo weights to all partition weights.
