To install your permanent license key, you must import
the license 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 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, complete the following steps:
- 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.
