Licensed Machine Code

Licensed Machine Code is provided in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable IBM® Customer Agreement or other applicable written agreement between the Customer and IBM.

Licensed Machine Code (LMC) is a fundamental component of the 9176 and is copyrighted and licensed by IBM. Each 9176 is delivered with Licensed Machine Code that is customized to the specific machine ordered. The Licensed Machine Code enables the 9176 to operate in accordance with its Official Published Specifications.

Model upgrades, feature additions, and system engineering changes may require updated Licensed Machine Code for the system. Updated Licensed Machine Code replaces the existing Licensed Machine Code.

Relocation of a 9176 requires that the Licensed Machine Code be reinstalled in the server at the new location. See the Discontinuing the System section in the 8562 Installation Manual for the procedure about relocating a 9176.
