   Press Enter.

5. Look at the messages that appear on the Display History Log Contents display.
   • If you had an installed licensed program that was not renewed by IBM, it might not be replaced. Refer to Mixed-release environment for more information.
   • If any of the messages on the display indicate a failure or a licensed program that is partially installed, go to Troubleshooting software installation problems to determine the problem.

   Otherwise, press F3 (Exit).

6. Verify the installed status values of your licensed programs and check for compatibility. It is important to make sure all of your licensed programs are compatible with the operating system. You can determine a licensed program's compatibility by checking the installed status value.

   Use LICPGM menu option 10 (Display licensed programs) to see the release and installed status values of the installed licensed programs. If the installed status value of a licensed program is *COMPATIBLE, it is ready for use. If the installed status value of a licensed program is *BACKLEVEL, the licensed program is installed, but its version, release, and modification is not compatible with the currently installed level of the operating system.

   Check the topic Licensed program releases and sizes to verify the current version, release, and modification of the licensed program. Installed status values lists the possible installed status value descriptions.
