Accepting software agreements

To install certain licensed programs, you must accept software agreements for them.

Before you can install Licensed Internal Code and the IBM® i operating system, you are required to accept the online software agreements for them. Other licensed programs that have online software agreements also need to have their agreements accepted before the installation.

If you have the i 7.3 release on your system and you want to install other licensed programs, follow the instructions in the topic, Installing additional licensed programs. These instructions include accepting the online software agreements for the licensed programs that require them.

If you are a software provider who wants to present terms before the installation of your packaged software product, you may do so by generating a software agreement and then associating it with your product by using Management Central or software product APIs. For instructions, see Generating software agreements for your own products.
