This topic explains how to use the ASU command line utility to generate and download activation keys from the Lenovo website without logging on to the website.
asu fodcfg acquirekey --kmsid restuser@invalid.domain:pasword --auth DEBAAAAAAAAA1654810000 -u 78704bc1234
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| --kmsid <userid:pwd> | Yes | The Lenovo ID credential for the interactive Lenovo website. |
| -u <unique id> | Yes | Unique identifier information. |
| -m <MT/DC> | Yes | The machine type and device code. For the system/option feature, specify the system machine type (MT). For the IOM switch, specify the device code (DC). |
| --auth <code> | Optional | The Lenovo authorization code. If no authcode is provided, ASU gets the key without generating it. |
| -d <dir> | Optional | Download the key file to the <dir> location. The default value is the current folder. |
| -r | Optional | Install the downloaded activation key. |
Values -u and -m specify the system information. Value -u is a unique identifier and -m is the system server type or switch device code. To get the keys that are installed on the IMM/CMM, enter the server type -m. For the switch keys, enter the device code. The available switch device codes are shown below.
When no authorization code is entered, ASUdownloads the keys for that system directly. If --auth is specified, ASU tries to generate and then download the keys for that system using the authorization code.
You can specify -r by using the acquirekey command to generate and download keys and install them automatically. If -r is not specified, ASU gets the key and puts it in the local folder without installing it. To install the key automatically, you must specify every element (except for -f), as shown in the following example: asu fodcfg installkey.
