Software agreements contain important information concerning the use and management of licensed programs. These could include both printed software agreements and online software agreements.
IBM licenses software to you, either as an individual or an entity, through legal agreements (software agreements). Before you install or use V5R4 Licensed Internal Code and the i5/OS™ operating system, you must accept the online software agreements for them. Other IBM licensed programs may have software agreements that need to be accepted before the licensed programs can be installed.
If you have non-IBM licensed programs to install on your server, you could be required to accept the terms of an online software agreement for them as well.
Software agreements for IBM® or non-IBM products can be displayed or printed through the Work with Software Agreements (WRKSFWAGR) command.
If you are a software provider who wants to present license
terms prior to the installation of your software product, you may do so by
generating a software agreement and then associating it with your product
by using either Management Central or software product APIs. For instructions,
see Generate software agreements for your own products.
