Obtain your CPU authorization password

After processing your order, BMC sends a passwords email that contains the CPU authorization passwords for the products that you licensed. You will use these passwords during the installation process to authorize products.

CPU authorization passwords authorize specific CPUs (also referred to as processors) to run licensed products. Because BMC licenses its products for use on individual CPUs, the passwords are product-specific and CPU specific (one license per product per CPU).

Important

CPU information is not required for temporary passwords.

For each product that you license, use the worksheet in the following table to record the CPU information and the passwords that you receive from BMC. The first line of the table provides a sample entry for a 9X2 model with three processors and a CPU ID of 10309-9021-DA.
