Configuring software license information

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

Before you begin

This topic assumes that you have installed the WebSphere Application Server for IBM® i product and that you have installed the WebSphere Application Server group PTF.

See Task overview: Installing on IBM i to install the product and the group PTF.

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

About this task

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

Procedure

  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 that contains the product 5733W80 and the feature code for the product that you installed.

    The feature code is 5102 for WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0.

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

    The Change License Information display is shown.

  5. Specify the 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.

Results

The usage limit changes to the value that you 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, you 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.

What to do next

Go to Configuring SQL jobs on IBM i to continue the installation.
