License Requirement

iCOD systems require the iCOD software (versions B.04.x and B.05.x) to be licensed. The required license is free and ensures communication between your iCOD system and HP.

New for versions B.05.x is that once any vPar or hard partition is valid and licensed on an iCOD system, the following are automatically valid and licensed:

other vPars — within the same complex
other hard partitions — within the same complex




	IMPORTANT: A license must be applied before activation or deactivation of processors can be performed with the `icod_modify` command. An unlicensed iCOD system is incapable of activating or deactivating processors. iCOD systems must have the license applied at the customer’s site. HP does not apply the license prior to shipping iCOD systems to customers.

The method to apply the license is:

Configure your iCOD system to send internet e-mail (configuration for receiving e-mail is not required)
Set the system contact information by entering the following command:
/usr/sbin/icod_modify -c name:e-mail:phone
Example 2-3 Setting system contact information for Mary Jones:
/usr/sbin/icod_modify -c “Mary Jones:mjones@corp.com:(970) 888-9999”
Request a license-key from HP, via e-mail, by entering the following command (This command sends an asset report, via e-mail, to: HP, the system contact, and root):
/usr/sbin/icod_notify
After HP receives the asset report, a confirmation e-mail containing the license-key, is sent to the system contact (the system contact was set in Step 2, above). See “Testing E-Mail Transmission of the Asset Report” for an example of the acknowledgement e-mail message sent by HP. Retrieve the license-key from the system contact’s e-mail.
Apply the license by entering the following command (note that the license-key in the following command is the string of letters and numbers contained in the e-mail from HP):
/usr/sbin/icod_modify -l license-key




	IMPORTANT: Failure to license your system causes an e-mail message to be sent, on a daily basis, to the system contact (if system contact information is configured) or to `root` (if system contact information is not configured).
