Connecting to a license server

You must have the licenses for all of the products you are integrating with or taking data from to use with IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Publishing (PUB).

Before you begin

Before you start to use PUB to generate documents, you must have a license key server that is set up with valid licenses. See Setting up licenses.
