To add temporary capacity credits to a system,
order the desired quantity of the temporary capacity product for your
type of server. The system serial number is required for orders of
temporary capacity.
Note that Instant Capacity cores that are added
on to an existing system may include some additional temporary capacity
called Instant Access Capacity (IAC). Over time, the IAC may be consumed
and you may want to also order additional temporary capacity in order
to continue activating cores on a temporary basis. Temporary capacity
is purchased in units of processing-days, each of which can be used
to activate a single core for 24 hours (either continuously or spread
over several days), or multiple cores for portions that add up to
a single day. Then, you must also follow the configuration procedures
(see “Acquiring and Configuring Temporary Instant Capacity”) for
each partition.

When you purchase temporary capacity, the temporary
HP-UX license-to-use is included when Instant Capacity cores are activated
using temporary capacity. Software licenses for third-party software
may be needed. Check with your application software vendor for licensing
requirements. Since licensing may change without notice, you should
check your contract to understand the details of software licensing
with temporary capacity.

When you purchase temporary capacity, the temporary
OpenVMS license-to-use is included when Instant Capacity cores are

facility will recognize when Temporary Instant Capacity cores are
activated and treat the usage as compliant. For third party software
that uses per-core licensing, check with the vendor for licensing
requirements.
