The CA License Management Program (CA LMP) is a standardized automated approach to the tracking of licensed software that uses common real-time enforcement software to validate your configuration. CA LMP reports on activities related to the license, usage, and financial activity of program solutions. CA LMP features include the following:

• A common key data set that can be shared among many CPUs
• The use of "check digits" to detect errors in transcribing key information
• Execution keys that can be entered without affecting any CA software solution already running
• No special maintenance requirements
