Licensing Workload Automation 5 for IBM i Components

After Workload Automation 5 for IBM i has been installed, you must configure the following components with product licenses before they can be used:

Product License File

Product license information (license parameter keywords and their values) is contained in a text file provided by your Stonebranch, Inc. account representative.

The format of the product license file name is: <component name>_<customer name>_<operating system>_<schedule or solution>.txt. For example: Indesca_Stonebranch_OS400_A1.txt.

  • For Universal Command Manager, Indesca is used as the <component name> in the product license file name and as the name of the product in the file itself.
  • For Universal Data Mover Manager, Infitran is used as the <component name> in the product license file name and as the name of the product in the file itself.
