I understand that, but isn't there something type of licensing built into the ssp
software which is paired to a specific ssp?

Unlike the CS6400, the SSP can be any Sparc system with the packages
installed. The control boards for the E10Ks went over ethernet (JTAG
over ethernet in some cases.) Sun sold systems with everything from
Sparc 5s to Ultra 5s and Ultra10s as SSPs.

Not quite -- the E10K has no real EEPROM, it's delivered by the SSP.
The EEPROM is a in-part generated on an SSP with two pieces, the S/N
of the system and a domain key delivered by Sun. There is a way to
generate these and I remember reading a web page with the info. All
you need is the S/N of the system to generate the key. Someone reverse
engineered the process, but I can't find links right now.
