Activating your product

Licensing for your installed IBM® software and customized packages is administered using the Manage Licenses wizard in the IBM Installation Manager. The Manage Licenses wizard displays license information for each of your installed packages.

About this task

IBM Rational® Developer for i V9.6 comes with a permanent license for the product level and trial license for the either RPG and COBOL Tools feature, or Modernization Tools, Java Edition feature. If you are installing the software for the first time or want to extend a license to continue using the specific feature, you can activate licensing for the feature by importing a license activation kit using the Manage Licenses wizard. Using the Manage Licenses wizard, you can also enable Floating license enforcement for offerings with trial or permanent licenses to use floating license keys from a license server.
Note: If you are using a trial license, it will expire 60 days after installation. You need to activate your product to use it after the expiration date.
