Installing a license

The trial license that is provided with the product expires 90 days after installation. You must activate a permanent license to use the product after the expiration date. If you are installing IBM® Developer for z/OS® for the first time or want to extend a license to continue using the product, you can enable the licensing for the product in two ways:
  • Import a product activation kit
  • Enable IBM Common Licensing to obtain access to floating license keys
If the host product that you connect to is IBM Developer for z/OS Enterprise Edition and uses z/OS-based licensing, then you do not need to install a license on the client.
