Update Access Keys with IBM i ESA
Electronic Service Agent (ESA) is expected to manage the Update Access Keys (UAK) / IP Protection keys (IP stands for Intellectual Property. IP protection key is an internal IBM term. Externally this is referred to as UAK) The keys are available for the Power8 and higher systems. These keys are normally valid until end of warranty or maintenance period. These keys are used to determine the eligibility of fix/firmware updates for the newer Power servers. At the end of the valid period, the key expires and the customer can no longer download fixes for those servers. ESA will download and update the keys before it expires.
