Setting the usage limit on the target site system
For IBM products, the usage limit must be set for all products that use OS/400 license management.
The authorized usage limit must be set to match the licensing agreement each time a new license term is
installed for the licensed program. Use one of the following commands to set the usage limit:
v Work with License Information (WRKLICINF), then choose option 2 to Change License Information
v Change License Information (CHGLICINF)
The authorized usage limit for the target site system may be different from the usage limit at the central
site system. If so, the WRKLICINF command or the CHGLICINF command must be run on the

Client Access must be installed on each personal computer. Refer to Client Access Express for Windows -

System configuration data
System configuration refers to the locations of components in the iSeries server.
System configuration data must be considered separately when doing central site system distributions to a
target site system. System configuration data consists of:
v The hardware configuration of each system.
v The resource names for devices on each system.
v The IPL device and alternate IPL devices for each system.
v The cable information for work station controllers and communication devices.
Because this information may be different for each system, system configuration data should not be part of
central site system distributions. The system configuration data has meaning only for the system on which
it was created.
Note: The only time distributing system configuration data is
practical in a central site distribution process is when all of
the systems on the distribution have exactly the same
hardware configuration.
When each system leaves the factory, the essential system configuration data is installed on the system.
The remainder of the system configuration data is completed by the service representative when the
system is installed. At this point, the Display Hardware Resource (DSPHDWRSC) command is used to
print the system configuration. A copy is filed in a safe and convenient location.
Use the Save Configuration (SAVCFG) command to save the system configuration data for backup
purposes.
The system configuration printout is needed at each target site system to locate parts during problem
resolution and to configure the system.
The resource names assigned by the system must be used when creating configuration descriptions.
To make this configuration data available to the central site system in a network, have the central site
system perform a remote sign-on, and use one of the following commands:
v DSPHDWRSC (Display Hardware Resource)
v WRKHDWRSC (Work with Hardware Resources)
These commands will display the system configuration at the
