You can use IBM® Installation
Manager to install, update, and modify IBM software
packages. You can also track what you installed, determine what is
available to install, and organize installation directories.
Installation Manager provides tools to update, modify, and uninstall
packages and to manage the licenses for your packages:
- Install packages: Use the Install wizard
to complete the installation process. You can install a package by
accepting the defaults or you can modify the default settings to create
a custom installation. Before you install the package, you can review
a complete summary of your selections throughout the wizard. You can
install one or more packages at one time.
- Update packages: Use the Update wizard
to search for available updates to packages that you have installed.
An update might be a released fix, a new feature, or a new version
of the product. The wizard provides details of the update. You can
choose whether to apply an update.
- Modify packages: Use the Modify wizard
to modify certain elements of a package that you have installed. During
the first installation of the package, you select the features to
install. Later, if you need other features, you can use the modify
packages wizard to add those features to your package. You can also
remove features and add or remove languages.
- Manage licenses: Use the Manage Licenses wizard
to set up the licenses for your packages. Use this wizard to change
your trial license to a full license, set up servers for floating
licenses, and select the type of license for each package.
- Roll back to an earlier version: Use the Roll
Back wizard to revert to a previous version of a package.
- Uninstall packages: Use the Uninstall wizard
to remove a package from your computer. You can uninstall more than
one package at a time.
