Obtaining your CPU authorization password

During the product configuration process, you must use the CPU authorization passwords to authorize specific CPUs (also referred to as processors) to run licensed products. BMC licenses its products for use on individual CPUs, so that the passwords are specific to each product and CPU. You need one license per product per CPU.

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.
