For our product, APRM, we used the IBM license management code, and I think that at the end of the day, this was a win/win strategy. It was painful to do and master, but then install is accomplished by RSTLICPGM, and it shows on option 10 from GO LICPGM. We entered into discussions with IBM as to the name of the library, and they urged us not to use a library name starting with a Q. They pointed out that they are sometimes not in control of their own library naming standards, however I came up with a name they would never use, QBARSA.

He would like to be able to have people "trial" the software, but would like for it to expire after a certain time if the user does not pay the license fee. Also, If he sells his software to company 1, he does not want company 1 to sell/give away the software to company 2, or load it on a second iSeries that company 1 may have, but has not licensed the software for. Bruce, I have written some code to do this. It allows for a 30 day trial key and a perm key, and will prevent the software from being run if it expires. cjg Carl J.

Don wrote: > rmv all your program products and USRLIBL's, Clear all outq's, > messages q's, QRPLOBJ's, etc.... Then do a RCLSTG I think there may be some confusion on this thread. On the one hand, there have been a number of suggestions that have to do with selling off old hardware, whereas it seems to me that the phrases "do not want it handed around," "securing the software," and "software key" all seem to imply that the "iSeries product you wish to resell" is in fact software you wish to publish (in which case, my own earlier post is more to the point).
