How to buy AIX workstation license

Hello folks, i'm new to AIX but i've purchased a used Intellistation
Power3. It came with no operating system.
Now since i definitely want to get a real Unix running on it (and not
Linux/BSD), i wonder what is the legal process to obtaining a license
for AIX? The install CDs frequently appear on eBay for sale but i
assume that's not giving me the license. I'm also aware that IBM is
pricing these licenses differently depending on what hardware and what
environment/use it is intended for.

Does IBM have a Web-based ordering option for AIX or is this something
where one has to "call and talk" to an IBM representative?
