Obtaining and Entering Codewords

There are two types of software on the Product Media: protected and unprotected. The core HP-UX software is not protected and has no codeword. To access any protected software on a CD-ROM, you must enter an authorized codeword in the SD interface. To access unprotected software, no codeword is required (for example, the HP-UX 10.20 Runtime bundle does not require a codeword).

You will have access only to those items on the CD-ROM medium that you have purchased, which are unprotected, or for which you have the proper codeword. Your codeword appears on the document Codeword for Installing Software that comes with your software; it is associated with your customer ID. If you received a document Codeword for Installing Software - Submittal Certificate, along with a Codeword Request Form, you can obtain a codeword and Customer ID by returning the latter form to the HP License Administration.

Product Documentation

Examine all the packages that contain your products and the Software Certificate(s). Keep the certificates handy. If your certificate does not include a codeword (and you want to load optional, protected software) you must obtain a codeword from Hewlett-Packard by following the codeword instructions that come with your Software Certificate. If you have problems with the codeword process, contact HP License Administration.
