<h1 class="topictitle1">Generate software agreements for your own products</h1>
<div><p><span><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />To present license terms before you install a non-IBM
software product, you generate a software agreement and then associate it
with your packaged product. To do this, you use either Management Central
or software product APIs. Users then accept the software agreement to continue
with the installation of the software product.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></span></p>
<div class="section"><p>Independent software providers can create online software license
agreements. A user is then required to accept the software agreement to complete
the installation.</p>
<p>To create a software agreement, you begin by creating
the directory for your documents in the /QIBM/UserData/LicenseDoc directory.
Choose a name that is unique from any other agreement from any other vendor.
Consider using your product identifier, version, release, modification, and
option as part of the name. For example, you could use the Work with Object
Links (WRKLNK) command and create the <samp class="codeph">MyProdIDVRMOptDoc1</samp> directory.</p>
<p>You
then create one or more language versions of the software agreement in this
directory. A document's name begins with the directory name and has a language
suffix appended. For example, <samp class="codeph">MyProdIDVRMOptDoc1_en</samp> for
an English version of the agreement, and <samp class="codeph">MyProdIDVRMOptDoc1_ja</samp> for
a Japanese version.</p>
<p>The software agreement documents need to be created
in UCS-2 Unicode, specifically UTF-16. The Unicode coded character set identifier
(CCSID) is 13488. To create the documents, you can use the edit function under
the WRKLNK command, as well as variety of PC tools. If you use a tool that
generates UTF-16, it needs to be BigEndian.</p>
<p>To use the WRKLNK command
to create a software agreement document in the <samp class="codeph">MyProdIDVRMOptDoc1</samp> directory,
do the following:</p>
</div>
<img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><ol><li><span>Select Option <kbd class="userinput">2</kbd> (Edit) against your MyProdIDVRMOptDoc1
directory.</span></li>
<li><span>Under the new file prompt, type <kbd class="userinput">MyProdIDVRMOptDoc1_en</kbd> for
the file name and press Enter to edit.</span></li>
<li><span>Before entering text, select <kbd class="userinput">F15</kbd> (Services).</span></li>
<li><span>Select option <kbd class="userinput">3</kbd> and change the CCSID to
13488. Press Enter.</span></li>
<li><span>Select option <kbd class="userinput">5</kbd> and change the stream file
EOL option to *CRLF.</span></li>
<li><span>Press F3 to edit your agreement. Make sure that no characters go
past column 76 (either single wide or double wide).</span></li>
<li><span>Press F2 to save and then press PF3 to exit.</span></li>
</ol>
<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /><div class="section"><p><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />Details on how to format the agreement, the naming requirements,
and languages supported are described in the <a href="../apis/qszcrtpl.htm">Create
Product Load (QSZCRTPL) API</a>.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></p>
