CA LMP

CA Endevor SCM requires the proper level of the CA License Maintenance Program (LMP) to initialize correctly. CA LMP, which provides a standardized, automated approach to the tracking of licensed software, is provided as an integral part of CAIRIM.

The CA License Management Program uses common real-time enforcement software to validate the user's configuration. CA LMP reports on license, usage, and financial activities of CA Endevor SCM. The routines that accomplish this are integrated into the CA z/OS dynamic service code S910 (the CAIRIM service).

Some of the features of CA LMP include:

• Common key data set can be shared among many CPUs.
• Check digits are used to detect errors in transcribing key information.
• Execution keys can be entered without affecting any CA software solution already running.
• No special maintenance requirements exist.

Note: For more information about defining the CA LMP execution key to the CAIRIM parameters, see the CA Common Services for z/OS Getting Started.
