Re: getting installed codewords
As far as I know /var/adm/sw/.codewords is the only location where codewords are stored.
May be products have been installed from an other server where the .codewords file reside ?
HP enginners have also unprotected Applications CD. Software might have been installed by HP ?
Finally, wich version of HP-UX are you running : Foundation, Enterprise or Mission Critical (see swlist) ? The last one includes many sub-systems like Miror, On Line JFS, MC/ServiceGuard and you will not find codewords for them.
Hope this will help
Regards
Eric

Re: getting installed codewords
As root
cd /var/adm/sw
ls -lart
If its not there it needs to be restored or the codewords need to be re-entered.

SolutionIf the system has been factory installed you should have received a "Codeword form". Can you find it ?
If not, you can find already generated codewords at ITRC site if you have one of these informations : Customer Identifier or License Number or Certificate ID. See SLM (Software License Manager) at http://licensing.hp.com/site=ITRC
You can also contact HP at "http://licensing.hp.com/slm/showAssistanceForm.slm". May be they will be able to find some usefull information trhough the serial number of the box : getconf CS_MACHINE_SERIAL
