It's a reasonably safe bet that any machine today has CPACF; that was not always true, of course.
When IBM or a business partner configures a new machine, there's a checkmark for CPACF (zero charge), but it defaults to unchecked. So when ordering a new machine I'd suggest the customer ask to make sure that free feature code is supplied.
If the machine comes with a crypto card, CPACF is automatically selected and required. No need to ask in that case.
Side subject - so how do you pronounce CPACF? I always say each letter, but some IBM crypto folks say C-Pack-F
