Convert a trial license on AIX
Convert a trial license to a full license without reinstalling IBM MQ .
When the trial license expires, the
count-downdisplayed by the strmqm command informs you the license has expired, and the command does not run.
Before starting
- IBM MQ is installed with a trial license.
- We have access to the installation media of a fully licensed copy of IBM MQ.
About this task
Run the setmqprd command to convert a trial license to a full license.
If we do not want to apply a full license to your trial copy of IBM MQ, we can uninstall it at any time.
Procedure
- Obtain the full license from the fully licensed installation media.
The full license file is amqpcert.lic. On AIX, it is in the /MediaRoot/licenses directory on the installation media.
- Run the setmqprd command from the installation that we are upgrading:
