ibi™ FOCUS® License Keys
As of January 1st, 2023, the FOCUS licensing process and keys for FOCUS licenses have changed.
As a result of these changes, you need a new FOCUS license key if you are:
- Renewing your contract.
- Upgrading your FOCUS release.
- Upgrading or changing your hardware.
- Changing your CPU serial number.
- Requesting a disaster recovery key.
To request a new license key, open a Customer Support case and supply the following information:
- Output from the "? CPUID" command issued from the FOCUS command line of your current version of FOCUS.
- Output from the “D M=CPU” system command.
- Output from the "? REL" command.
- Expiration date of your current or renewed contract.
| If you are using FOCUS… | You will… |
| Release 7.7.03M through Release 9.1.1 | Receive a standardized IBICPUID load module, which you will add to your FOCLIB.LOAD library. Note that a new site code may be provided. This module will be zapped with your new CPUPLATE. (Note that we will provide JCL to zap the new site code, if required.) You will also receive a PTF that must be run. The PTF contains JCL and object code to call the IBICPUID module. |
| Releases prior to Release 7.6.13 | Receive a standardized IBICPUID load module, which you will use to replace your existing module. Note that a new site code may be provided. This module will be zapped with your new CPUPLATE. (Note that we will provide JCL to zap the new site code, if required.) |
