The main licensed component in RDI is the RPG & COBOL Tools. The RDI “shell” will show as licensed but the RPG & COBOL Tools and the Modernization Tools are separately licensed.
If you have a default Admin install then DO NOT try to license RDI from within RDI, that will only lead to sadness and a re-install. Normally IM should fail to launch unless you have the UAC turned down then it will just damage the registry leading to a re-install. To license RDI please start the IBM Installation Manager (IM) from the Start menu.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [WDSCI-L] License status in "Manage Licenses" window says "License key available"
FWIW, this is RDi 9.6.0.
Currently, my License Type is "Trial". I went to "Manage Licenses" today
to see how much longer the trial lasts. I was surprised to see the license
status was "License key available".
So, I clicked on Apply License, which fired up Installation Manager. It
shows RDi 9.6.0.11 with a permanent license, and "RPG and COBOL Tools" with
a trial license. I select the latter, and click the "Import product
Activation Kit". It then asks for the repository, of which I am unaware.
So, I guess I'm wondering what "License key available" actually means. Is
this referring to the permanent RDi license or the trial "RPG and COBOL
Tools" license?
