How to Install SecureZIP on IBM i

Step-by-step guide

  1. Download and extract the installer from http://www.pkware.com/dlsecurezipiseries.
  2. Create an empty SAV file on the IBM i and give it a name for the installation.

    CODE
    CRTSAVF YourLibrary/mbhszinst
  3. FTP the SAV file from the self-extractor to the IBM i as the empty save file you created above:

    CODE
    c:\ftp p720i1
    <authenticate>
    bin
    PUT C:\PKWARE\szi1400061\PKW14061S.SAV YourLIB/mbhszinst
  4. Restore the SAV file. 

    CODE
    RSTLIB SAVLIB(PKW14061S) DEV(*SAVF)
    SAVF(YourLIB/mbhszinst) RSTLIB(mbhsz14)

    You should see that 88 objects were restored.

  5. Add PKZIP to your library list.

    CODE
    ADDLIBLE mbhsz14
  6. Run a CALL WHATOSV from your library so customer service can generate a license key.

    CODE
    EDTF FILE(mhsz14/PKZLICIN) MBR(PKWARELIC)

    This will generate two screens worth of information. You will need to send both screens of output to customer service. They prefer this in text format as they save this information internally.

  7. After you receive your license key, you need to populate it in the license file.

    CODE
    EDTF FILE(mhsz14/PKZLICIN) MBR(PKWARELIC)
  8. Now, you need to apply your license key to PKZIP.

    CODE
    INSTPKLIC INMBR(PKWARELIC)

    You should see a message that your license key has been applied successfully.

  9. To change the pointers run:
    1. CALL PKZSETLIB library name.
  10. Now, you can test it by running the following command. This will show you what you are licensed for.

    CODE
    INSTPKLIC *VIEW
