Activation key

For all of the functions in IFM to be available, each chassis must be licensed for use with IFM. Rather than applying hundreds of licenses to the system individually, you can add a single IBM Feature On Demand (FoD) activation key to IFM.

Before you begin

Go to the IBM Features on Demand website to request and download an activation key for IFM through the Feature on Demand (FoD) web site.

To add the activation key to IFM, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Click Settings in the IFM navigation bar and select Activation Keys.
  2. Click Browse and select the activation key file.
  3. Click Add.

Results

After you add an activation key, any chassis discovered through the Hardware Devices panel indicates with a checkmark in the License column that all of the IFM functionality is enabled for the chassis.
