helpful for customers with many remote systems and would like to send programs from a
central site for remote activation. In order to use this method, the Electronic Service

available on each system for install or already installed.
A sample CL program can be found in, Appendix B, page 16. Before using a program,
the International License Agreement for Services Programs must be accepted.
