How to Install SecureZIP on IBM i

Step-by-step guide



Download and extract the installer from http://www.pkware.com/dlsecurezipiseries

Create an empty SAV file on the IBM i and give it a name for the installation

CODE
CRTSAVF YourLibrary/mbhszinst

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

Restore the SAV file (paste as two separate lines as all of it won't fit:

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

You should see that 88 objects were restored

Add PKZIP to your library list

CODE
ADDLIBLE mbhsz14

Run a CALL WHATOSV from your library so customer service can generate a license key.

CODE
CALL WHATOSV

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.

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

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

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.

To change the pointers run

CALL PKZSETLIB library name


Now, you can test it by running the following command. This will show you what you are licensed for.

CODE
INSTPKLIC *VIEW
