IBM® Common Licensing uses IBM Installation Manager to install the product. You can read about the accessibility features for IBM Installation Manager: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSDV2W_1.7.0/com.ibm.help.common.accessibility.doc/topics/ceaccess.html

IBM Common Licensing uses the latest W3C Standard, WAI-ARIA 1.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/), to ensure compliance to US Section 508 (http://www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-standards/communications-and-it/about-the-section-508-standards/section-508-standards), and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/).

Interface information

The IBM Common Licensing user interfaces do not have content that flashes 2 - 55 times per second.

The IBM Common Licensing web user interface does not rely on cascading style sheets to render content properly and to provide a usable experience. However, the product documentation does rely on cascading style sheets. IBM Knowledge Center provides an equivalent way for low-vision users to use a user’s system display settings, including high-contrast mode. You can control font size by using the device or browser settings.

Rational License Key Server Administration and Reporting Tool web user interface includes WAI-ARIA navigational landmarks that you can use to quickly navigate to functional areas in the application.

Vendor software

IBM Common Licensing includes certain vendor software that is not covered under the IBM license agreement. The IBM Common Licensing uses Flexera FlexNet Publisher for licensing. IBM makes no representation about the accessibility features of these products. Contact the vendor for the accessibility information about its products: http://www.flexerasoftware.com.
