Before You Install

Obtaining and Entering Codewords

There are two types of software on the Product Media: protected and

unprotected. The core HP-UX software is not protected and has no

codeword. To access any protected software on a CD-ROM, you must

enter an authorized codeword in the SD interface. To access unprotected

software, no codeword is required (for example, the HP-UX 10.20

Runtime bundle does not require a codeword).

You will have access only to those items on the CD-ROM medium that

you have purchased, which are unprotected, or for which you have the

proper codeword. Your codeword appears on the document Codeword for

Installing Software that comes with your software; it is associated with

your customer ID. If you received a document Codeword for Installing

Software — Submittal Certiﬁcate, along with a Codeword Request Form,

you can obtain a codeword and Customer ID by returning the latter form

to the HP License Administration.

Product

Documentation

Examine all the packages that contain your products and the Software

Certiﬁcate(s). Keep the certiﬁcates handy. If your certiﬁcate does not

include a codeword (and you want to load optional, protected software)

you must obtain a codeword from Hewlett-Packard by following the

codeword instructions that come with your Software Certiﬁcate. If you

have problems with the codeword process, contact HP License

Administration.
