Installing and activating a Standalone Software License using Software License Mechanism

Question & Answer


Question

How can I install and activate a standalone software license using the Software License Mechanism (SLM)?

Answer


Installing a Software License - Standalone License

To enable SLM for existing installations:

  • Go to Control Panel
  • Open Programs and Features.
  • For each of the IBM i2 programs that you would like to enable SLM you need to do the following:
  • From the right click menu select Change. The Install Wizard will be displayed. Press Next to display the Program Maintenance screen.
  • Select Modify and press Next
  • On the Custom Setup screen, locate Software Licence Management (SLM), and choose This feature, and all subfeatures, will be installed on local hard drive
  • Continue through the Install Wizard steps to complete the installation of SLM. Once installation has been completed, if Software Licence Management was selected, a Software License Console will be installed with your IBM i2 product set.

For Example:
Start > All Programs > i2 >Software License Management > Software License Console

Activating a Standalone License

Once you receive your license file from i2, you will need to enter the details into the Software License Console to activate your software.

To activate your license:
  • Open the Software Licence Console and navigate to the Install tab.
  • Enter the license details. This can be done in three ways:

    • A. Drag the license file onto the license text area.
    B. Use Browse... to locate and load the license file.
    C. Paste the contents of the license file into the text box provided.
  • Press Install to load the license, the status of the license will be displayed in the Results pane:

Your license(s) are now installed.
