IBM Power System Update Access Key Policy (UAK)

Release Notes


Abstract

IBM Power Update Access Key (UAK) Policy

Content

IBM recommends that our clients keep their systems up to date under IBM warranty or maintenance agreements. To be able to access all future Quarterly Service Pack updates, you will need to obtain a valid Update Access Key (UAK).
With the release of each new IBM Quarterly Service Pack for IBM Power systems, IBM will make the latest security updates separately available (if any) for the current firmware version/release free of charge, to the extent required by applicable law. 
If additional separate security updates are released, they will
  1. Include only the security fixes for the most current Quarterly Service Pack, and
  2. Can only be applied to the immediately preceding Quarterly Service Pack.
Further inquiries relating to IBM’s Machine Code policy and practices should be directed to mcsb@us.ibm.com
