AIX XL Compiler issue

[nyck]

Hello,

Our eval license on the XL compiler has expired and we have been sent an extension one by IBM, how do we get the compiler to accept the license?

In the good ole days I remember using something called LUM but this does not seem to exist anymore!

Below is the error message we are getting:-

./xlC -version
The license for the Evaluation version of IBM XL C/C++ for AIX V12.1 compiler product has expired. Please send an email to compiler@ca.ibm.com for more information. The evaluation version can be easily upgraded to the full, licensed version after purchase. Please refer to section "Before installing IBM XL C/C++ for AIX V12.1" in the Installation Guide.

cheers

Nick

As an emergency work around you can

/usr/vac/bin/xlc cgc.c

The license for the Evaluation version of IBM XL C/C++ for AIX V11.1 compiler product has expired.

Please send an email to compiler@ca.ibm.com for information on purchasing the product.
The evaluation license can be extended to 74 days in total by either
a) setting an environment variable XLC_EXTEND_EVAL=yes; or,
b) specifying a compiler command line option -qxflag=extend_eval.
