The HPSUSAN and corresponding keyword (which as you suspect are tied together)
are only used to unlock the software on the CD.  Unless this has changed on 6.0
(which I strongly doubt) MPE updates on tapes are not secured by the HPSUSAN.
I have used the same DDS media many times to update multiple machines which all
have the same set of HP products on them.

I am very suspicious that you have *something* that should require a SUBSYS
tape.  Even Image/SQL came on the SUBSYS tape. (That's true at least as of
5.5...  I suppose it's possible that significant changes in what is on the FOS
vs. SUBSYS tapes has taken place for 6.0, but I'd be surprised.)
