Using CA LMP

CA ACF2 for z/VM requires CA LMP (License Management Program), to initialize correctly. CA LMP provides a standardized and automated approach to the tracking of licensed software. CA LMP is provided as an integral part CA ACF2 for z/VM.

Examine the CA LMP Key Certificate you received with your CA ACF2 for z/VM installation or maintenance tape. That certificate contains the following information:

Fields	Descriptions
Product Name	The trademarked or registered name of the CA software solution licensed for the designated site and CPUs.
Product Code	A two‑character code that corresponds to CA ACF2 for z/VM.
Supplement	The reference number of your license for CA ACF2 for z/VM, in the format nnnnnn - nnn. This format differs slightly inside and outside North America, and in some cases might not be provided at all.
CPU ID	The code that identifies the specific CPU for which installation of CA ACF2 for z/VM is valid.
Execution Key	An encrypted code required by CA LMP for CA ACF2 for z/VM initialization. During installation, it is referred to as the LMP Code.
Expiration Date	The date (ddmmmyy as in 01AUG00) your license for CA ACF2 for z/VM expires.
Technical Contact	The name of the technical contact at your site, which is responsible for the installation and maintenance of CA ACF2 for z/VM. This is the person to whom CA addresses all CA LMP correspondence.
MIS Director	The name of the Director of MIS, or the person who performs that function at your site. If the title but not the individual's name is indicated on the Certificate, you should supply the actual name when correcting and verifying the Certificate.
CPU Location	The address of the building where the CPU is installed.

The CA LMP execution key, provided on the Key Certificate, must be added to the CALMP KEYS to ensure proper initialization of CA ACF2 for z/VM. CALMP KEYS reside on the service machine's 193 minidisk.

The parameter structure for member KEYS is as follows:

PROD(pp) DATE(ddmmmyy) CPU(tttt‑mmmm/ssssss) LMPCODE(kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk)

Descriptions of the variables follow:

pp: Required. The two‑character product code. For any given CA LMP software solution, this code agrees with the product code already in use by the CAIRIM initialization parameters for earlier genlevels of that software solution.
ddmmmyy: The CA LMP licensing agreement expiration date.
tttt‑mmmm: Required. The CPU type and model (for example: 9672‑RB5) on which the CA LMP software solution is to run. If the CPU type and/or model require less than four characters, blank spaces are inserted for the unused characters.
ssssss: Required. The serial number of the CPU on which the CA LMP software solution is to run.
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk: Required. The execution key needed to run the CA LMP software solution. This CA LMP execution key is provided on the Key Certificate shipped with each CA LMP software solution.

The following is an example of a control card for the CA LMP execution software parameter. Although this example uses the CA ACF2 for z/VM two‑character product code, the CA LMP execution key value is invalid and is provided as an example only!
