What software product is required for PPU systems?

There are two HP pay per use (PPU) software products:

•T2351AA (versions B.05.00 and B.06.x): is the newest PPU offering and billing is based on the percent utilization of processors

•T1322AA (versions B.04.x): is a previous PPU offering and is based on the actual number of active processors

You can verify PPU is installed by executing:

/usr/sbin/swlist grep T2351AA

The result should be similar to:

T2351AA

B.06.04
