Using the Restore Licensed Programs command to install IBM or non-IBM licensed programs

To use the IBM® i Restore Licensed Programs (RSTLICPGM) command to install licensed programs on a system, follow these procedures.

You might be instructed to use the RSTLICPGM command to install non-IBM licensed programs. All IBM-supplied licensed programs, including Programming Request for Price Quotations (PRPQs), licensed program offerings (LPOs), and single-set licensed programs, should have been installed already by using the LICPGM menu options 1 or 11, or during automatic installation.
Note: If you do not have non-IBM licensed programs, you can skip this task. If you need to install a secondary language, go to Installing a secondary language and complete the instructions. Otherwise, you must complete the installation process and then go to Checklist: Completing the IBM i installation and complete the instructions.
  1. You might have received special installation instructions with these products. If you did, you should use those instructions.
  2. Load the media containing the licensed program or optional part in the installation device.
  3. If you have non-IBM software agreements to accept, you can either accept all your licensed program agreements at one time, such as when you install products in a batch process, or you can accept them individually later. To accept all your software agreements now, type GO LICPGM. Select option 5 (Prepare for install).
    1. Select the option to work with software agreements. On the Work with Software Agreements display, use F22 (Restore software agreements).
    2. Type a 5 to display the software agreements for the licensed programs that you want to install and press Enter. Press F14 to accept the software agreements and then return to the Work with Licensed Programs display.
  4. In the following steps, OPT01 is used for the installation device. If you are using a different naming convention, use the name you have assigned to the installation device.
    To install a new licensed program, type the command:
    RSTLICPGM LICPGM(xxxxxxx) DEV(OPT01) OPTION(*BASE)
    where xxxxxxx is the product identifier for the licensed program you are installing.

    Press Enter. You might see an online software agreement. If you accept the software agreement, you can continue to install and use the program.

  5. To install a new optional part, type the command:
    RSTLICPGM LICPGM(xxxxxxx) DEV(OPT01) OPTION(n)
    where xxxxxxx is the product identifier for the licensed program you are installing and n is the option number.

    Press Enter. You might see an online software agreement. If you accept the software agreement, you can continue to install and use the option.

  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have installed all of the new licensed programs and optional parts that could not be installed in Using the Work with Licensed Programs menu to install IBM licensed programs.

You have completed this task.

  1. Do you need to install other licensed programs such as WebSphere®?
  2. Do you need to install a secondary language?
  3. You must complete the installation process before you put your system into operation. Go to Checklist: Completing the IBM i installation and complete the instructions.
