Planning for software licensing

 

You can track trends in the usage of licensed-enabled packaged products that are currently installed on your system.

You can then use this information to determine what you need to purchase for the next software upgrade.

• Determining the usage limit for products not in the keyed set
  To determine the number of licenses you need to purchase for the next release of an i5/OS product that is not in the keyed set, use the Work with License Information (WRKLICINF) command.

• Determining the usage limit for products priced by processor
  The usage limit of some licensed-enabled packaged products is based on the number of processors that you have configured to i5/OS logical partitions.
