Hello
I'm about to install a MQ 6.0 system, but unfortunatley I've misplaced my 6.0 disc.
So I was thinking about downloading the 90-days trial from IBM.com and using that one, but what will happen to the installed system after 90 days?
Will it stop working?
If so, I assume there's something I could easily do without having to reinstall the system using a non-trial version?
I was expecting to find the answer to this question by simply searching IBM.com. Clearly that was not the case, so I'm trying here instead  |

One of the nice things about starting out with WebSphere MQ is that 90-day free trials are available to try it out. But what happens if, after trying it out (and paying for it!), you decide you like it and want to keep the environment you’ve spent the last ninety days setting up? Many new users don’t realize that it is possible to upgrade your trial setup to the full product, without needing to reinstall WMQ or recreate their queue managers.
When you normally install the full product, the installer registers your new “production” license as a part of the installation process. But it is possible to manually register the license that you get when pay for the full product.
License files are named amqXcert.lic, where X identifies the license type:
amqtcert.lic - is a trial license
amqbcert.lic - is a beta license
amqpcert.lic - is a full production license
The command to do this is setmqprd (enroll production license) and is documented in the System Administration Guide. setmqprd installs the license, as well as carrying out a number of checks to confirm that it has been correctly applied.
Finally, it’s worth noting that there’s no need to remove the old beta or trial license files. If a production license is installed, it will always be used in preference to others.

But, of course, you'll need your 6.0 disk to get the production license file...

| Also, you should be able to download the product from IBM's Passport Advantage site. Someone in your shop should be desigated as the "IBM site technical contact". That person can give you rights to download software (you'll need to provide your IBM ID). Or, if they are control freaks, they can download it for you. |
