CA LMP

The CA License Management Program (CA LMP) tracks licensed software in a standardized and automated way. It uses common, real-time enforcement software to validate the user's configuration. CA LMP reports on activities related to the license, usage, and financials of CA Technologies products.

CA LMP features include the following:

• A Common Key Data Set that can be shared among many CPUs.
• Check digits that are used to detect errors in transcribing key information.
• Execution keys that can be entered without affecting any CA Technologies software products that are already running.
• No special maintenance is required.

CA Deliver is licensed with an LMP key. Acquire the LMP key using one of these methods:

• From your product media
• With ESD
• From CA Support

Library Authorization

CA Deliver and the EBC subsystem contain authorized programs. To run successfully, these programs must be executed from an authorized library. We recommend that you authorize the CAI Common Load Library (CVDELOAD).

Note: If other CA products have been installed, CVDELOAD may already be authorized.

To authorize the CVDELOAD library, modify the appropriate member PROGxx in SYS1.PARMLIB to add an entry for CVDELOAD as follows:

APF ADD DSNAME(CAI.CVDELOAD) VOLUME(xxxxxx)

where CAI.CVDELOAD is the data set name for the CAI Common Load Library, and xxxxxx is the volume serial number on which it resides. Use MVS system command SET PROG=xx to activate update to PROGxx.
