Do I need a new tape when I get a new CPU? Even though your new CPU will have a different HPSUSAN (or SPU) number than what is currently encoded into your Robelle software, it is not necessary to wait for a new tape. Simply call us and let us know the new number. We can generate the authorization codes that you feed into a program that you already have. On a HP3000 it is Extend.Pub.Robelle, on a HP9000 it is /usr/robelle/bin/extend. It usually takes about 5 minutes.
