Product Authorization Tables
When you apply passwords, the BMC Software Product Authorization utility
builds or updates product-authorization tables. The utility uses passwords to
create entries in the tables that define the authorization for the product and to
validate software licenses.
The types of product-authorization tables are as follows:
• The Product Authorization utility builds or updates a permanent
product-authorization table when you install or apply a permanent
password. The permanent table controls which CPUs are licensed to run
the product, based on the serial number, the model number, and the
submodel number of the unit.
• The Product Authorization utility builds or updates a temporary
product-authorization table when you apply a temporary password.
See “Product Authorization Passwords” on page A-4 for more information
about permanent and temporary passwords.
Product-authorization tables are product-specific and are identified by the
three-character product code, as in the following examples (where the
variable
prd
is the three-character product code):
prdTBL3P (permanent)
prdTBL3T (temporary)
Problem Regarding Product-Authorization Table Installation
Do not install the Product Authorization tables into load modules that are
PDS/Es (Partition Dataset - Extended). PDS/E files cannot contain load
modules and data type objects together in the same file. The Product
Authorization table is a data file, normally stored in the product loadlib.
Installing Product Authorization tables into load module PDS/Es will cause a
failure when attempting to apply the password to the product library.
