Using CA LMP

CA Datacom requires CA LMP to initialize correctly. CA LMP also provides a standardized and automated approach to the tracking of licensed software.

Examine the CA LMP Key Certificate you received with your product installation package. To obtain the CA LMP Key again, see the Licensing section on CA Support at support.ca.com. That certificate contains the following information:

Key Certificate

Product Name

The trademarked or registered name of the CA Technologies product licensed for the designated site and CPUs.

Supplement

The reference number of your license for the particular product, in the format nnnnnn - nnn. This format differs slightly inside and outside North America, and in some cases may not be provided at all.

Expiration Date

The date (month dd, yyyy, as in March 20, 2012) your license for this product expires.

Technical Contact

The name of the technical contact at your site who is responsible for the installation and maintenance of the designated product, that is, the person to whom CA Technologies addresses all CA LMP correspondence.

MIS Director

The name of the Director of MIS, or the person who performs that function at the site. If the title but not the name of the person is indicated on the Certificate, supply the actual name when correcting and verifying the Certificate.

CPU Location

The address of the building where the CPU is installed.

Execution Key

An encrypted code required by CA LMP for product initialization. During installation, it is referred to as the LMP Code.

Product Code

A two-character code that corresponds to this particular product.

CPU ID

The code that identifies the specific CPU for which installation of your product is valid.

CA LMP is provided as an integral part of CAIRIM. After CAIRIM has been installed, CA LMP support is available for all CA products.

Defining KEYS

Proper initialization of any CA product requires the addition of the CA LMP execution key provided on the Key Certificate to the CAIRIM parameters. To define a CA LMP execution key to the CAIRIM parameters, modify member KEYS in the OPTLIB data set. This is the parameter structure of member KEYS:

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

The two-character product code. For any given CA LMP product, this code agrees with the product code already in use by the CAIRIM initialization parameters for earlier genlevels of the product.

(ddmmmyy)

The CA LMP licensing agreement expiration date.

(tttt-mmmm)

The CPU type and model (for example, 3090–600) on which the CA LMP product will run. If the CPU type, model, or both require fewer than four characters, blank spaces are inserted for the unused characters.

(ssssss)

The serial number of the CPU on which the CA LMP product will run.

(kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk)

The execution key needed to run the CA LMP product. This CA LMP execution key is provided on the Key Certificate shipped with each CA LMP product.

Example

In this example, the CA LMP execution key value is invalid and provided as an example only.

PROD(AX) DATE(30JUN09) CPU(3090-600 /370623) LMPCODE(52H2K06130Z7RZD6)

For a full description of the procedure for defining the CA LMP execution key to the CAIRIM parameters, see your CA Common Services for z/OS documentation.
