mqlicense (accept license after installation)

On Linux® (excluding IBM® MQ Appliance) use the mqlicense command to accept the IBM MQ license after installation.

Note: You must have the appropriate privileges to run this command on your system, typically root access on Linux.

The license agreement is displayed in a language appropriate to your environment and you are prompted to accept or decline the terms of the license.

If possible, mqlicense opens an X-window to display the license.

If you need the license to be presented as text in the current shell, which can be read by a screen reader, type the following command:

mqlicense -text_only

Usage notes

Note that running this command, with the environment variable MQLICENSE=accept, has the same effect as specifying the -accept parameter.

None

-accept: Accept the IBM MQ license without it being displayed.
-check_only: Check whether the IBM MQ license has already been accepted without it being displayed.
-jre: Path to the Java executable used to display the license.
-text_only: Display a text-only version of the license, which can be read by a screen-reader.
