The license is not contained in the install image, I don’t think that uninstall-reinstall would change things.
Yes, you don’t need to mess with the license manager to apply the RDI 9.8 RPG & COBOL Tools license but folks will and some end up inadvertently enabling floating license enforcement. I have asked that the defaults be change for this but it is not under the control of the RDI team, requests for change have been made though.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for your response. My question was badly timed, because I am on vacation starting from tomorrow. So I have to wait until September 11th, to check what you have suggested.
Is that property (Floating License enabled) stored somewhere outside the installation folder of RDi 9.8?
I watch my colleague when he installed RDi 9.8 into an empty folder and he did not go to the licence manager but immediately installed the lincense plugin from the zip file.
Regards,
Thomas.

Hi Thomas,
When we have seen issues like this in the past, users went into the License Manager first. This "enables" Floating License Server.
Have the user go into Manage Licenses from the Help Menu, and disable the Floating License option.
We've asked the License Team to make Floating License disabled the default value so users don't stumble into this.
If you need more help on this, don't hesitate to contact IBM support.
Thanks!

Hallo,
We do have a curious problem on the Laptop of one of n colleagues. RDi 9.8 has been installed by extracting it from the distribution zip file. Then the license plugin has been installed with "Help -> Install New Software". I did not notice any errors watching that process.
