Installing a licensed program with the Restore Licensed Program command

The programs listed in the Install Licensed Programs display are those supported by the LICPGM installation when your server was new. Occasionally, new programs become available which are not listed as licensed programs on your server. If this is the case with the program you want to install, you must use the Restore Licensed Program (RSTLICPGM) command to install it.

To install a licensed program with the Restore Licensed Program (RSTLICPGM) command, follow these steps:

  1. Put the tape or CD-ROM containing the licensed program in the appropriate drive.
  2. On the IBM® i command line, type:

    RSTLICPGM

    and press the Enter key.

    The Restore Licensed Program (RSTLICPGM) display appears.

  3. In the Product field, type the ID number of the licensed program you want to install.
  4. In the Device field, specify your install device.

    Note: If you are installing from a tape drive, the device ID is usually in the format TAPxx, where xx is a number, like 01.

  5. Keep the default settings for the other parameters in the Restore Licensed Program display. Press the Enter key.
  6. More parameters appear. Keep these default settings also. Press the Enter key. The program begins installing.

When the licensed program is finished installing, the Restore Licensed Programs display appears again.
