Configure software license information

Set the usage limit from the Proof of Entitlement (POE) or invoice before starting WebSphere Application Server for the first time.

This article assumes that we have installed the WAS for IBM i product and that we have installed the WAS Fix Pack.

See Install the product offerings to install the product and the Fix Pack.

Before we set the usage limit from a POE or invoice, verify that your user profile has the *ALLOBJ special authority.

Use the Work with License Information menu to set the usage limit from a POE or invoice.


Tasks

  1. Access the Work with License Information menu.

    On a Control Language (CL) command line, enter the Work with License Information (WRKLICINF) command.

  2. On the Work with License Information menu, press F11 (Display Usage Information).
  3. Move the cursor to the line containing the product 5733W90 and the feature code for the product that we installed.

    The feature code is 5103 for WAS Network Deployment v9.0.

  4. Select option 2 (Change), then press Enter.

    The Change License Information display is shown.

  5. Usage limit shown on the POE or invoice for the Usage limit prompt (USGLMT).

    Do not specify a number that exceeds the purchased limit because doing so violates the IBM purchase agreement.

  6. On the Change License Information display, press F9 (All parameters).

  7. Specify *USGLMT for the Threshold (THRESHOLD) prompt, then press Enter.

    Do not leave the threshold set to zero.

The usage limit changes to the value specified.

If the following message is displayed, type G.

CPA9E1B: Usage limit increase must be authorized.
   Press help before replying (C G)

After you respond to the CPA9E1B message, we must respond to the same message on the QSYSOPR message queue. Run the DSPMSG QSYSOPR command to see the message in the QSYSOPR message queue. When the message is displayed, type G.
