Required licensed program options

Table 1. Required programs to install for IBM i Access for Windows
Program	Option	Description
5770-SS1	12	Host Servers
5770-XE1	Base	IBM i Access for Windows
5770-XW1	Base, 1	IBM i Access Family
5770-TC1		TCP/IP Utilities
Note: Each product that you install needs to be at the latest level.

Notes:

You only need to install IBM i Access Family 5770-XW1 Base and Option 1 if you want to use Data Transfer or PC5250 Display and Printer Emulation.
5770-XE1 does not necessarily have to be installed on your system. Nevertheless, you need to install 5770-XE1 if you want to use the following parts of IBM i Access for Windows:
- Service Pack management
- Install through the IBM i platform
To use 5770-XW1, update the usage limit for the 5770-XW1 product on your system by doing the following:
1. Type the WRKLICINF command on the IBM i platform to which you intend to connect. A list of products appears.
2. Type 2 in the entry field next to the product 5770-XW1 Base, Feature 5050. Change the usage limit to the number of licenses that you have purchased for IBM i Access Family. If you have purchased the processor-based option for IBM i Access Family, enter the value *NOMAX for usage limit. Entering any number that exceeds the purchased limit violates the IBM license agreement.
To use 5770-XW1, enter the license key information by doing the following:
1. Type the WRKLICINF command on the IBM i platform to which you intend to connect. A list of products appears.
2. Type 1 in the entry field next to the product 5770-XW1 Option 1, Feature 5101. Enter the license key information.
  Notes: ADDLICKEY values for Usage Limit and Processor Group for Feature 5101:
  - Always enter the value *NOMAX in the Usage Limit field for Feature 5101. The usage limit value *NOMAX is required as part of the software key. The value *NOMAX is not a representation of the number of users licensed under a user-based license.
  - For a user-based license, enter the value *ANY in the Processor Group field. A processor-based license has a processor group value that corresponds to the processor group licensed.
After installing the 5770-XW1 product and entering the license key information, the Central server jobs (QZSCSRVS) must be restarted. Subsequent license requests might fail if the restart is not done. The QZSCSRVS job can be controlled with the Start Prestart Job (STRPJ) and End Prestart Job (ENDPJ) commands.
Note: The IBM i commands to end and restart the Central server jobs (QZSCSRVS) running in the QUSRWRK subsystem:
1. ENDPJ SBS(QUSRWRK) PGM(QSYS/QZSCSRVS) OPTION(*IMMED)
2. STRPJ SBS(QUSRWRK) PGM(QSYS/QZSCSRVS)
