Licensing-CA COMMON SERVICES FOR Z/OS

Issue/Introduction

Guide for installing your Mainframe LMP license keys.

Resolution

Site keys are no longer CPU dependent. They are now site based.  You are still governed by the terms of your paper contact and should see no impact to the performance of your product(s).

The attachment contains YOUR SITEID control card that will be required to process CALMP execution keys, which use the SITEID processing option.

The SITEID control card must be the first non-commented record in the KEYS dd. The rest of the records in the KEYS dd may be any mixture of Product Execution keys and optionally one EKG control card. If more than one Product Execution Key for the same product is found and they are valid then the one with the greatest expiration date is used.


PLEASE READ PRIOR TO KEY INSTALLATION!!
