Capacity Upgrade on Demand activation codes

After you decide to permanently activate some or all of your resources, you must order and purchase one or more activation features. When you order and purchase activation features, you are provided with one or more activation codes that you use to activate resources on your server.

When the order is placed, the order record is combined with vital product data (VPD) from your server. This information generates one or more activation codes that are specific to your server.

The activation codes are posted on an IBM® website for quick access, usually within one business day (24 hours) after the order reaches the IBM manufacturing system. After your activation codes have been generated, you can access them by using your system type and serial number at the following Capacity on Demand (CoD) website http://www-912.ibm.com/pod/pod.

To order activation features and receive activation codes, see Ordering Capacity Upgrade on Demand activation features.
