<div class="section"><p>The ProductLicense class enables you to request licenses for products
installed on the iSeries™. To be compatible with other iSeries license
users, the class works through iSeries product license support when
requesting or releasing a license.</p>
<p>The class does not enforce the license
policy but returns enough information such that the application can enforce
the policy. When a license is requested the ProductLicense class will return
the status of the request -- license granted or denied. If the request is
denied the application must disable the behavior that required the license
because the IBM<sup>®</sup> Toolbox
for Java™ does
not know which function to disable.</p>
<p>Use the ProductLicense class with iSeries license
support to enforce the license of your application:</p>
<ul><li>The server side of your application registers your product and license
terms with iSeries license
support.</li>
<li>The client side of your application uses the ProductLicense object to
request and release licenses.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Example: ProductLicense scenario</h4><p>For example, suppose
your customer bought 15 concurrent use licenses for your product. Concurrent
use means 15 users can use the product at the same time, but it does not
need to be 15 specific users. It can be any 15 users in the organization.
This information is registered with iSeries license support. As users connect
your application uses the ProductLicense class to request a license.</p>
<ul><li>When the number of concurrent users is fewer than 15, the request is successful
and your application runs.</li>
<li>When the 16th user connects, the ProductLicense request fails. Your application
then displays an error message and terminates.</li>
</ul>
<p>When a user stops running the application, your application releases
the license by way of the ProductLicense class. The license is now available
for someone else to use.</p>
<p>For more information and a code example, refer
to the <a href="javadoc/com/ibm/as400/access/ProductLicense.html">ProductLicense javadoc</a>.</p>
