Re: Rational Upgrade questions

Instruction on installing the Activation Kit are in the readme.htm (also readme.txt) that should be in the ZIP file you downloaded - now I don't know where you downloaded from, a trial site, or the ESS site. See if you have the readme.htm - if not, you'll need someone like a system admin at your work who can download stuff from ESS (Entitled Software Site, I think it's called).

Don't forget to install the Fixes, (9.8.0.1 and 9.8.0.2).

The 9.6 Licence does not apply to 9.8 - a completely separate Activation Kit (Licence) is required for 9.8. (In other words, a 9.6 Licence cannot be transferred to 9.8.) However, assuming your organisation has a Software Management Agreement (SWMA) in place, then an Activation Kit for 9.8 should be available (and free) to download. Otherwise, I'm afraid a new Licence will have to be purchased ...

The activation kit for 9.8 is a "simple" ZIP file, that you have to install from inside the running RDi 9.8.

Go to Help - Install New Software ... - and use the ZIP as an archive repository.

I was able to download the zip file and unzip it to C:\IBM\IBM Rational
Developer for i

I clicked on the RDI.EXE icon and it came up.

So far so good.

I am not clear on how I can get out of the Trial License since I already
have 9.6 installed and running. Is there a way to transfer my 9.6 license
to 9.8?

Thank you,

Doug
