Explanation

Upgrading a BYOL VM instance to a higher capacity tier requires purchasing a new license, which generates a new Auth Code (B) - this code represents the entitlement for the VM-300 tier and must be registered on the licensing/support portal. An API Key (D) is also required to authenticate with the Customer Support Portal (CSP) API, which processes the license registration and completes the upgrade.

UUID (A) is a system-generated unique identifier for the VM instance; it's used internally but is not something you supply during the license upgrade workflow. CPU ID (C) is a hardware-level processor identifier relevant to physical machine licensing, not virtual machine BYOL tier upgrades.

Memory tip: Think "Buy and Unlock" - B (Auth Code) is what you buy when you purchase the new tier, and D (API Key) is what unlocks portal access to register it. UUID and CPU ID are "machine facts," not "license facts."
