Configure software license information

Set the usage limit from the Proof of Entitlement (POE) or invoice before you start WebSphere Application Server for the first time. This topic assumes that you have installed the WebSphere Application Server for iSeries product and that you have installed the WebSphere Application Server group PTF.

See Task overview: installing to install the product and the group PTF.

Before you set the usage limit from a POE or invoice, verify that your user profile has the *ALLOBJ special authority.

   On a Control Language (CL) command line, enter the Work with License Information (WRKLICINF) command.

2. On the Work with License Information menu, press F11 (Display Usage Information).

3. Move the cursor to the line that contains the product 5733W61 and the feature code for the product that you installed.
