Licensing Cloud Storage Solutions

You can use Cloud Storage Solutions for a 70-day trial period. After that you must purchase the product and install the product license key.

When you purchase Cloud Storage Solutions, you can choose a single partition license or an unlimited license. With a single partition license you can install one instance on one partition. With an unlimited license you can install one instance per partition on an unlimited number of partitions on a single system. When you purchase the product, IBM® sends you license information, including the license key. If you are upgrading the product, installing the new key overrides the previous key. You cannot uninstall license keys. For more information on IBM i license keys, see the topic Software license keys.

Take the following steps to install the Cloud Storage Solutions license.

  1. Log in to the IBM i computer as a user with *ALLOBJ authority.
  2. To prompt the Work with License Information command, type the following command and press Enter: 
    WRKLICINF
  3. In the Opt field next to the product, type 1 and press Enter.
  4. In the Add License Key Information panel, enter the required license information provided by IBM, and press Enter.
    Note: In the User limit field, enter either 1 if you purchased a license for a single partition, or *NOMAX if you purchased an unlimited license.
