your
licenses
after

is
complete.
After
you
have
completed
your

your
first

the
following
actions:
v

v
Apply
the

the
activation
codes
by
importing
a
file
that
you

the
IBM

Web
site.
The
initial
enablement
of
any
optional
DS6000
licensed
function
is
a
concurrent
activity
(assuming
the
appropriate
level
of
microcode
is
installed
on
the
machine
for
the
given
function).
Note:
The
following
activating
activities
are
disruptive
and
require
a
machine
IML.
v
Removal
of
a
DS6000
licensed
function
to
deactivate
the
function.
v
A
lateral
change
or
reduction
in
the
license
scope.
A
lateral
change
is
defined
as
changing
the
license
scope
from
fixed-block
(FB)
to
count
key
data
(CKD)
or
from
CKD
to
FB.
A
reduction
is
defined
as
changing
the
license
scope
from
all
physical
capacity
(ALL)
to
only
FB
or
only
CKD
capacity.
