3.7. Keyed Tape Delivery
Keyed Tape Delivery
Unisys distributes its OS 2200 software products on software package tapes, which are
installed with SOLAR. A software package tape is a tape that contains one or more
OS 2200 software products. Unisys uses the PRODSV utility in SOLAR/E to create
software package tapes.
You receive two types of keyed distribution media: conditioned package tapes and key
tapes. There are also products that are not keyed.
A key tape is a tape containing product authorizations for a particular site. A key tape is
registered through SOLAR (full-screen interface, calling PKGREG directly, or
REGISTERPKG). This results in product authorizations being added to the system key
table. PKGREG produces a summary report that lists all new product authorizations
contained on each key tape registered.
The following is an example of a key tape registration summary report:

Before you can install a product (or copy a product file from a conditioned package tape
to mass storage), verification is made against the system key table to ensure that your
site is authorized for the product or the file.
