<h1 class="topictitle1">Software licensing documents</h1>
|
|
<div><p>This information describes the documents that you receive with
|
|
your software release order. These can be either printed or online.</p>
|
|
<p>These documents contain important information concerning the use, management,
|
|
and transfer of licensed programs.
|
|
The licensing documents for IBM<sup>®</sup> licensed programs that you receive could be either
|
|
printed or online on the server. The Customer Notice that is included in your
|
|
software order describes how to access the online documents. </p>
|
|
<p>To automatically install IBM licensed programs that have online software agreements,
|
|
you need to accept the agreement through the Prepare for Install menu before
|
|
you can install the programs. An upgrade of the Licensed Internal Code and
|
|
the i5/OS™ operating
|
|
system will stop if the agreements have not been accepted. The topic <a href="acceptswagree.htm#acceptswagree">Required: Accepting software agreements</a> describes how to accept the
|
|
agreements.</p>
|
|
<p>Ensure that you read and understand all software license agreements and
|
|
documents before you use the programs.</p>
|
|
<p>Store the printed agreements and documents in a secure location. Both printed
|
|
and online agreements need to be passed to the new owner when you transfer
|
|
a program. </p>
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Proof of Entitlement</dt>
|
|
<dd>The Proof of Entitlement (PoE) is evidence of the owner's authorization
|
|
to use the program and is the official record on entitlement. It is evidence
|
|
of eligibility for any version or release updates under software subscription,
|
|
warranty services, future upgrade program prices (if announced), and potential
|
|
special or promotional opportunities. A PoE is created for new customer orders
|
|
or when additional entitlement is purchased.<p>An electronic PoE for i5/OS software
|
|
upgrade orders is replacing the printed PoE formerly shipped with your software
|
|
products. For instructions on how to access your electronic PoEs and software
|
|
license keys, refer to the Customer Notice that is included with your software
|
|
order. The printed PoEs should be destroyed after you verify the existence
|
|
and content of the Web-based PoE. </p>

<dt class="dlterm">The International Program License Agreement</dt>
|
|
<dd>The International Program License Agreement (IPLA) provides a nonexclusive
|
|
license to use a software product that has a warranty.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">International License Agreement for Non-Warranted Programs</dt>
|
|
<dd>This agreement is similar to the IPLA but is used for IBM licensed programs
|
|
that have no warranty.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">International License Agreement for Evaluation of Programs</dt>
|
|
<dd>The Evaluation of Programs provides a nonexclusive, nontransferable license
|
|
to use a program only for internal evaluation, testing, or demonstration purposes,
|
|
on a trial or “try-and-buy” basis.</dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Licensed Information Document</dt>
|
|
<dd>The Licensed Information Document (LID) contains specific license information
|
|
and additional restrictions for a product. </dd>
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Software license keys</dt>
|
|
<dd>For each keyed IBM product or keyed IBM product option that you order, a software
|
|
license key is created. This applies to both new and upgraded software. You
|
|
can view, print, or download the software license keys from the <a href="http://www.ibm.com/eserver/ess" target="_blank">Entitled software support</a><img src="www.gif" alt="Link outside Information Center" /> Web
|
|
site. You need to have your customer number and either your order number or
|
|
system number that is listed on your software packing list available. For
|
|
further instructions on how to access your online software license keys, refer
|
|
to the Customer Notice that is included with your software order. <p>The <a href="http://www.ibm.com/eserver/ess" target="_blank">Entitled
|
|
software support</a><img src="www.gif" alt="Link
outside Information Center" /> Web site also contains more information
|
|
on managing IBM software
|
|
license keys. </p>
