Copying the IBM licensed program distribution media and Licensed
Internal Code
If you have two media units, you can duplicate the distribution media or fix tapes by using the Duplicate
Tape (DUPTAP) command for tape media or the Duplicate Optical (DUPOPT) command for optical media.
Licensed Internal Code
The Licensed Internal Code included on the IBM distribution media contains the most recent changes
when new licensed programs are released. The new version is included on the central site system
distribution media when you use LICPGM menu option 40 (Create a distribution tape) at the central site
system. Install the new version of Licensed Internal Code on all target site systems to keep them at the
same release level. You can provide instructions to the target site systems or use the instructions on
replacing the Licensed Internal Code in Software Installation .
Installing OS/400 and other licensed programs on a target site system
Depending on your licensing option, the OS/400 licensed program may or may not be installed on all
target site systems for the first distribution of licensed programs. Use the installation procedures described
in Software Installation to install the licensed programs at a new target site system.
Optional parts of OS/400 and other licensed programs
Option 40 (Create a distribution media) on the GO LICPGM menu guides you through the save menus and
allows you to save selected licensed programs on your distribution media. This allows the central site
planner to decide which licensed programs and optional parts of OS/400 to include on the distribution
media distribution media.
IBM corporation may distribute other licensed programs independently of an OS/400 release. These
licensed programs do not appear on the Work With Install Licensed Programs (GO LICPGM) display,
however, you can still restore them using option 11 by adding them to the list or you can use the Restore
Licensed Program (RSTLICPGM) command. When using the automatic installation method, the
RSTLICPGM command can be contained in a QLPUSER program. See Installing applications and
restoring objects using a user-defined installation program for more information about a QLPUSER
program. You can save these licensed programs by using the Save Licensed Program (SAVLICPGM)
command.
Documentation for target site system
You should review your licensing option agreement to determine which IBM information comes with your
licensing agreement and which information you have to order separately. The requirements for the target
site systems vary with the type of environment they operate in.
A minimum selection of information for target site systems should include:
v AS/400 Road Map for Changing to PowerPC Technology, SA41-5150 (Only for CISC to RISC
upgrades.)
v Local Device Configuration, SC41-5121
v Software Installation
v Backing up your server for information on saving your data
v Backup and Recovery
for recovery information
v Basic system security and planning
