Importing a product activation kit

To install your permanent license key, you need to import the activation kit from the CD or download location using the IBM® Installation Manager for the Rational® Software Development Platform.
First, purchase the activation kit and insert the CD or download the activation kit to an accessible workstation.
To import an activation kit and enable the new license key:
  1. In the Installation Manager, click File > Open > Manage Licenses.
  2. Select a package and click the Import Activation Kit button.
  3. Click Next. Details for the selected package are shown, including the current license kind and the version range of the license.
  4. Browse to the path of the download location for the kit; then select the appropriate *.jar file and click Open.
  5. Click Next. The Summary page displays the target install directory for the activation kit, the product the new license applies to, and version information.
  6. Click Finish.
The product activation kit with its permanent license key is imported to the product. The Manage Licenses wizard indicates whether or not the import was successful.
