Allocation Code DB (TAC DB) is dis either the one delivered with the release, or it can be
downloaded from a configureable location. The activation is hitless and does not require system
restart. The use of the TAC DB is licenseddb by default with PEM license, as well as the one the
user can configure. This manages the licensed TAC DB. You are now able to easily update TAC DB

updates from the configured location.
