The software products that you receive for the release are grouped
into different media sets.
The licensed programs on the standard set and keyed set come in your primary
language. If you order additional primary languages (feature code 80xx), you
will receive the standard set and keyed set for those languages. Secondary
languages, if ordered, come on separate optical media.
Other licensed programs, which are in addition to the standard set and
keyed set, come on their own separate media when ordered. In this case, all
supported languages, not just one secondary language, come on this same media.
- Standard set
- The standard set of products comes with every server software or upgrade
order. It contains the hardware and software components to install on your
server. This includes Licensed Internal Code, i5/OS™,
its no-charge options, and no-charge licensed programs and options. The i5/OS operating system has all the
applications necessary for the basic operations of your server. In addition,
it could contain more programs than you want. You can choose not to install
some of these programs.
- Keyed set
- The keyed set of products comes with the standard set. It contains keyed
products and program options. You can evaluate these programs for a 70-day
trial period. Within 70 days, you must apply license keys to keep the programs
operational. Once you purchase the use of a licensed program and load the
license key, the licensed program will remain in operation for continual use.
- Single products (if ordered)
- When specifically ordered, licensed programs that are not part of the
standard set and keyed set arrive on separate media with your software order.
You might install these licensed programs using the automatic installation
procedure. Some of these licensed programs might come with their own installation
instructions, and some might have limited language support.
- Secondary languages (if ordered)
- You can order secondary languages separately from the primary language.
Each language comes on separate optical media or as a set of optical media.
You specify the secondary language during the installation procedure.
- Informational set
- IBM provides technical and setup information on optical media with your
software order. This information includes the iSeries™ Information Center and
the PDF versions of iSeries manuals.
