Updating the product license
Usually, the output of the z/OS command D M=CPU is required for obtaining a new license. Requests for a new license are available through the BMC AMI Cloud support portal, or your BMC sales representative.
License Enforcement
The license is enforced by every action that is performed under the z/OS agent, the z/OS CLI and the management server web UI. When the license expires, only data retrieval actions are allowed. The following table lists the return code and messages for every action in accordance with the license status:
