License Manager level: License Manager is a required utility that is included in the software installation package for multiple Precisely products, including Assure MIMIX, Assure iOptimize, Assure QuickEDD, and Assure Security. The current versions of these products require License Manager version 10.0. Be aware of the following implications to the product software installation process:
-
If License Manager does not yet exist on a system when you install a new instance of this product, the software installation process automatically installs License Manager using the level included in the software installation package.
-
If License Manager already exists on a system on which you are installing a new instance or upgrading an existing instance of this product and the installed level of License Manager is lower than the level included in the software installation package, the product install or upgrade process automatically upgrades License Manager to the level included in the software installation package.
If License Manager is not present and you need to use the native user interface to install instead of the Installation Wizard, see Installing when License Manager is not yet installed.
Supported MIMIX upgrades: MIMIX products that are installed at 9.0.01.00 or any higher service pack level can be upgraded to version 10.0 as long as these conditions are met:
-
Maintenance is current. Customers not current on maintenance will only be able to re-install the same version, update, and service pack level (V.U.SP) and install fixes for that level. See Displaying details about a license key.
-
Upgrades to version 10.0 require license keys for version 10.0. New installs of version 10.0 can be completed with no license keys present, although a valid license key is required before you can use MIMIX. For information about obtaining license keys, see Working with license keys.
Operating system: Each system in the MIMIX environment must have a supported version of IBM i installed. The minimum supported level is IBM i 7.3.
The system must have this software installed and be current with the recommended PTFs.
Use the Check IBM PTF (CHKIBMPTF) command to check whether the IBM i PTFs that Precisely recommends are applied on all systems on which MIMIX will be installed. See Checking systems for recommended IBM PTFs for details.
Precisely Licensed Program 7VSI001: When MIMIX is installed, the software installation process automatically installs the Precisely licensed program product (LPP) 7VSI001 *BASE and option 2 into library VSI001LIB if they are not already present on the system. If you install the product using its installation wizard, option 13 is also installed.
Assure Unified Interface: There are additional System i software requirements if you will be using the MIMIX portal application with the Assure Unified Interface. For details, see Requirements for the Assure UI server and portal applications on page 65.
