HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) enables you to add one or more keys to the database. The keys are defined in an XML file with a key extension. You can create these files if needed. The format is of the form:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<KEYLIST>

<KEY>

<KEYSTRING>A2345-1B345-12C45-123D5-123E5</KEYSTRING>

<PRODUCTNAME1>SMP</PRODUCTNAME1>

<PRODUCTVERSION1>v1.0</PRODUCTVERSION1>

<KEYDISP1>3</KEYDISP1>

</KEY>

</KEYLIST>

For user created files, the minimal format is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<KEYLIST>

<KEY>

<KEYSTRING>A2345-1B345-12C45-123D5-123E5</KEYSTRING>

</KEY>

</KEYLIST>

With the key tag sequence repeated for each key to encode in the file.
