Software agreements and licensing concepts

 

Software license agreements and software license keys are foundations for the use and management of licensed programs.

Any licensed program may be subject to the terms in a software agreement. The i5/OS^® licensed programs that you use are available through the media distribution set, which includes the standard set, the keyed set, and single sets of products. The keyed set contains products and program options that require software license keys to regulate their use.

• Software agreements
  Software agreements contain important information concerning the use and management of licensed programs. These could include both printed software agreements and online software agreements.

• Software license keys
  When you install, upgrade, or move certain licensed programs in the keyed set of i5/OS products, install software license keys.
