Requesting a Demo/Disaster Recovery/Temporary License

You can request temporary licenses for demo and disaster recovery purposes, or by arrangement.

Your active maintenance provides 60-days for temporary access codes per year for testing and disaster recovery purposes.

Please send your IBM i Serial/Model/LPAR information to [email protected] and the number of days required (30, 60 or other increment).

To verify the Serial/Model/LPAR information you may run the PRDINFO command on any of the installed Document Management libraries, Example WINSPOOL/PRDINFO.

If you need any technical assistance, please contact Helpsystems Document Management Support at [email protected] or 952-933-0609.

Find the serial, model and LPAR numbers for the system you want to license.

1. If you have already installed PRODUCT NAME, use the Verifying an Existing License, Step 1 instructions above.

   Otherwise:

2. Issue the command DSPSYSVAL and press F4 to prompt. You will see the following:

   • The System Value parameter QMODEL = the model number.

   • The System Value Parameter QSRLNBR = the serial number.

   • The System Value Parameter QPRCFEAT = the processor code.

Transferring Licenses

Document Management IBM i products are based on your system Serial/Model/LPAR information. If any of the three criteria change, new licensing would be required.
