iCOD and Pay Per Use
Hewlett-Packard’s instant Capacity on Demand (iCOD) and Pay Per Use (PPU) software
products provide the ability to increase or decrease processor capacity instantly on
(specified) enterprise servers. iCOD and PPU software products are a part of the HP
Utility Pricing Solutions program.
NOTE The iCOD product was removed from the HP-UX Operating Environments at the HP-UX
11i June 2001 Release. You can find iCOD on the Support Plus media and at the
following web site:

There are two products associated with HP’s Utility Pricing Solutions program:
• iCOD (product number: B9073AA): You initially purchase a specified number of
activated processors and pay a right-to-access fee for a specified number of inactive
processors. After you activate an inactive processor, you pay an enablement fee.
• PPU (product number: T1322AA): You pay only for the average processor usage,
based on a fixed/variable model.
