iCOD Compliance and Enforcement

The iCOD software maintains complex-wide information about the licensing and activation of system components. The iCOD software monitors the number of iCOD (unlicensed) and non iCOD (licensed) components for the entire complex.

An iCOD component is defined as a processor, cell, or an amount of memory that has not been licensed with HP. iCOD components are not allowed to be activated until they are licensed. Activation of licensed (non iCOD) components is restricted according to complex-wide compliance.

For example, if your iCOD contract specifies that your iCOD system contains 12 licensed (non iCOD) processors and 4 unlicensed (iCOD) processors, you may have up to 12 processors activated at any one time, and 4 processors must be inactive at all times.

The iCOD software can determine the following compliance aspects:

To activate an iCOD component, the component must first be licensed with HP by the application of a right-to-use (RTU) codeword. For an example of activating a processor, see “Processor Activation” for details.
