Program Requirements
You must comply with the following HP Utility Pricing (formerly On Demand) Solutions
conditions to participate in the Instant Capacity program:
• Maintain the HP Instant Capacity software on each HP-UX or OpenVMS partition in the
system — the Instant Capacity software is a non-intrusive and low-overhead software
module that resides on the Instant Capacity partition
• Migrate to later Instant Capacity software versions as they become available
For the specific details on your individual program requirements, refer to your Utility Pricing
Solutions contract from HP or your authorized channel partner. Participants in the Utility Pricing
Solutions program who do not meet these requirements may be in breach of contract. This results
in unnecessary expense for both the Instant Capacity program participant and HP.
