Online activation: The ability to activate a deactivated core while HP-UX is running. No reboot
is required. This is done by icapmodify or vparmodify in a virtual partition.
Pay per Use (PPU): The HP software product that is a part of the HP Utility Pricing Solutions
program. You acquire a specific hardware platform and number of cores and then are charged for
usage of the cores based on system demand.
Right to Use (RTU): A type of codeword used to activate and adjust available usage rights for
Instant Capacity components (memory, cell board, or core). An RTU codeword can be applied
only to the system for which it was purchased, and the application of an RTU codeword adjusts
the number of component-specific usage rights on the system.
Temporary capacity (TiCAP, TiCOD): An HP product that enables customers to purchase
prepaid core activation usage rights, for a specified (temporary) period of time. Temporary
capacity is sold in 30 processing-day increments.
