If you download the installation files from IBM Passport Advantage, you must extract the
electronic image from compressed files for IBM® DevOps Test Embedded (Test Embedded), and IBM License Key
Administrator (LKAD) before you can install the software. You must download and extract
locally the compressed files so that they are automatically installed when you start the
launchpad. Moreover, we recommend to download at the same time the License Key Server
that will be required later to start Test Embedded. If you are installing from product CDs you may need to follow the same procedure to retrieve
License Key Administrator (LKAD) or License Key Server.
To download the installation files:
-
Go to the
Licensing Support page and read the getting started guide. You will find
instructions on how to access your Passport Advantage and to IBM Software Licence
Keys.
-
Log into IBM Software License Keys Center and download
locally the files you need, depending on your installation context: Test Embedded, License Key
Administrator (LKAD) (V8.1.2 minimum), and License Key Server (V8.1.2
minimum).
-
Verify the completeness of the downloaded files before extracting the image. If you select the
Download Director option for downloading the installation files, the Download Director applet
automatically verifies the completeness of each file that it processes.
-
Extract each compressed file to the same directory.
For UNIX™: When extracting files, do not include spaces
in the directory names, otherwise you will be unable to run the launchpad.sh command to start the
launchpad from a command line.
-
Then, start the launchpad to install Test Embedded and License Key
Administrator (LKAD).
