Media distribution set
The software products that you receive in an i5/OS® release order 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 system software or upgrade order. It contains the hardware and software components to install on your system. 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 system. 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, 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 i5/OS Information Center and the PDF versions of i5/OS manuals.
