Additional Information

Broadcom Technical Support does not have direct authority to generate licenses. To avoid any delays, please review Broadcom Partner Support End-Customer Guide which discusses how to submit a non-technical case appropriate for license requests.

1. CA 2E licenses generated from 8.1 onwards can be used all the way up to 8.7 provided that CA 2E is installed on the same machine. For CA 2E versions previous to 8.1, it is important to provide the correct version as determined in step 2 above. The license keys are unique for the older version.

2. Refer to the following KB article for information on how CA 2E Licensing Works and how to apply CA 2E licenses

3. To display existing licenses, please run the command YDSPLICPRD. See View CA 2E License Keys

The Financials Model may not work after applying a new license for 2E. This is because a separate license is required for this model. If you find this situation, please use the recommended procedure above to request a special license for the Financials model.

The above commands can be executed on the IBM i Main Menu, which is usually the first menu you will encounter when logging into a standard AS400 environment.
