  • 1.  IBMi Software utilization

    Posted 6 hours ago

    I have a question to ask you to help me with something. I am an IBM i Consultant, and my management is working on optimizing IBM i license costs. We have many IBM i software products installed on our production and test machines. Now, they are asking me to provide a list of the licensed software that has not been in use for the past several days.

    I don't see any command in IBM i to check the utilization of licensed software-whether someone is using these products or not. If no one is using them, we could remove the software from the machine and reclaim the license fees from IBM. Do you have any idea how to gather a list of unused software on IBM i?
