HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Routine Management Tasks

The codeword for a particular software product is found on the DVD certificate which
you receive from HP. It shows the codeword along with the customer ID for which the
codeword is valid. One codeword usually unlocks all the products on a DVD which
you have purchased. When an additional HP software product is purchased, an
additional codeword will be provided by HP. Just enter the new codeword and customer
ID and they will be merged with any previously entered codewords.
A codeword for a particular customer ID and DVD only needs to be entered once per
target system. The codeword and customer ID are stored for future reference in
/var/adm/sw/.codewords. SD-UX will prompt you for these codewords or numbers
prior to the installation of protected software. You can enter or change the numbers
via the SD-UX graphical user interface (using Add New Codeword from the Actions
menu) or by using the appropriate default (-x codeword=xxxx and -x
customer_id=xxx) on the command line.
Here is a sample DVD certificate.
