mqlicense (accept license post installation)

Accepts an IBM MQ license on Linux after installation.


Purpose

On Linux (excluding IBM MQ Appliance) use the mqlicense command to accept the IBM MQ license post installation. Note: You must have the appropriate privileges to run this command on the system, typically root access on Linux.

The license agreement is displayed in a language appropriate to the environment and you are prompted to accept or decline the terms of the license.

If possible, mqlicense opens an X-window to display the license.

For the license to be presented as text in the current shell, which can be read by a screen reader, type the following command: 
mqlicense -text_only
