Generating license keys for your own products
Use this information to find out how to generate software license keys to allow access to your own products.
If any of your own products require keyed compliance, you need to create software license keys for them. A valid license key for each of these products must be loaded on the system so that users can access the product or an option of a product.
To create a license key, use one of the following options:
- If you have IBM® System Manager for iSeries on your system, use the Generate License Key (GENLICKEY) command to create a license key. The license key is specific to the product and system information used with this command. The license key is a combination of 18 characters and numbers (A-F and 0-9). The keys are saved in the repository to keep a history of all keys created.
- If you do not have IBM System Manager for iSeries™, use the Generate License Key (QLZAGENK) API.
