Obtaining an IBM entitlement API key

All IBM® Concert images are accessible from the IBM Entitled Registry. You must use a valid IBM entitlement API key to pull images for installation or for mirroring to a private container registry. You must get a valid IBM entitlement API key before you proceed with the installation.

Important: IBM entitlement keys are required for on-premises deployments only. You do not need this to use a SaaS instance of IBM Concert.

When you purchase IBM Concert, a software entitlement API key is generated and associated with your IBM account. You need this key to complete the IBM Concert installation for on-premises deployments.

Instructions

To obtain your IBM entitlement API key:

  1. Log in to the container software library on My IBM using the IBMid and password associated with the IBM Concert purchase.
  2. On the Entitlement keys tab, click Copy to copy the entitlement key to the clipboard.
  3. Save the API key in a text file or in a secure location.
