To install your permanent license key, you must import the license
activation kit from the download location or the product media by using IBM® Installation Manager.
Before you begin
If you have not purchased an activation kit, you must do this first.
If you have purchased a product or a product activation kit, insert the appropriate
disk or download the activation kit from
Rational License Key Center to an
accessible workstation. The activation kit is packaged as a .zip file containing
a Java™ archive (.jar) file. The .jar
file contains the permanent license key and must be imported to activate your
product.
