Installing License Keys Initially

Before users can use licensed products, you need to install the license keys for those products. Each license key unlocks a licensed product, enabling the product to be used.

Installing a license key is a separate procedure from installing the licensed product. This enables you to add more license keys at any time, without reinstalling the licensed product.

You can install a license key from the command line or by using the menu interface of the License Administration Services. To get started quickly, install them from the command line, as follows:

  1. Go to the directory where the License Management Facility is installed, /opt/microfocus/mflmf.
  2. Enter:
    sh mflmcmd 
  3. When prompted, enter I.
  4. When prompted enter the serial number, which is printed on your License Key Card.
  5. When prompted enter the license number, which is also printed on your License Key Card.

    The license is then added to the license database.

64-bit Server Express on AIX:

If you are installing 64-bit licenses to enable you to use the 64-bit Server Express development system on AIX, any 32-bit licenses installed for a previous version of 32-bit Server Express on AIX remain enabled. If you are using the 64-bit working mode, you can install and uninstall 32-bit licenses at any time, although these will have no effect on 64-bit Server Express.

You cannot use 32-bit licenses with 64-bit Server Express on AIX, nor can you use 64-bit licenses with 32-bit Server Express on AIX.
