Enabling IBM Tivoli License Compliance Manager (ITLCM)

IBM® Tivoli® License Compliance Manager (ITLCM) is a web-based solution that can help you manage software usage metering and license allocation services on supported systems. In general, ITLCM recognizes and monitors the products that are installed and in use on your system.

IBM COBOL for AIX®, V4.1 is ITLCM-enabled for inventory support only, which means that ITLCM is able to detect product installation of COBOL for AIX, but not its usage.

Remember: ITLCM is not a part of the COBOL for AIX compiler offering, and must be purchased and installed separately.

Once installed and activated, ITLCM scans your system for product inventory signatures that indicate whether a given product is installed on your system. ITLCM also identifies the version, release, and modification levels of the product. Inventory signature files are not updated after PTF installation.

When COBOL for AIX is installed, the signature files are in the /usr/lpp/cobol/COBOLX0401.SYS2 directory. For more information about IBM Tivoli License Compliance Manager, see: www.ibm.com/software/tivoli/products/license-mgr/.
