Increasing the WebSphere Application Server usage limit for running Sametime on IBM i

Use the Change License Information command to allow an unlimited number of users for the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server installation. Changing the usage limit in this manner is acceptable provided you are in compliance with the terms of your IBM Sametime® license and are only using WebSphere Application Server to run Sametime.

About this task

Other servers that use WebSphere Application Server are the IBM Sametime Meeting Server, IBM Sametime Proxy Server, and IBM Sametime Gateway Server.
