Licensing for your installed IBM® software
and customized packages is administered using the Manage Licenses
wizard in the IBM Installation
Manager. The Manage Licenses wizard displays license information for
each of your installed packages.
Using the Manage Licenses wizard, you can upgrade trial versions
of an offering to a licensed version by importing a product activation
kit.
Licenses
As a purchaser of this product, you can choose from three
types of product licenses: an Authorized User license, an Authorized
User Fixed Term License (FTL) and a Floating license. The best choice
for your organization depends upon how many people use the product,
how often they require access, and how you prefer to purchase your
software.
License activation
If you are using a trial license, it will expire 30 or
60 days after installation. You need to activate your product to use
it after the expiration date.
Importing a license activation kit
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.
Activating floating licenses
If your team environment supports Floating license enforcement,
you can enable Floating licenses for your product with a permanent
license key. You then configure a connection to one or more license
servers to obtain access to floating license keys installed on a license
server.
