To install your permanent license key, you must import the activation
kit from the download location or the product media by using IBM® Installation
Manager.
If you have not purchased an activation kit, you must do this first.
If you have purchased a product or a product activation kit, insert the appropriate
CD or download the activation kit from IBM Passport Advantage® to an
accessible workstation. The activation kit is packaged as a .zip file containing
a Java™ archive
(.jar) file. The .jar file contains the permanent license key and must be
imported to activate your product.
To import an activation kit .jar file and enable the new license
key:
- Start IBM Installation Manager.
- On the main page, click Manage Licenses.
- Select a package and click the Import Activation Kit button.
- Click Next. Details for
the selected package are shown, including the current license kind and the
product version range of the license.
- Browse to the path on the media CD or download location for the
activation kit; then select the appropriate Java archive (JAR) file and click Open.
- Click Next. The Summary
page displays the target install directory for the activation kit, the product
the new license applies to, and version information.
- Click Finish.
The product activation kit with its permanent license key is imported
to the product. The Manage Licenses wizard indicates whether the import is
successful.
