4.1 ServerGuide Overview

ServerGuide is a CD-ROM library shipped with every IBM PC Server. It contains software products, device drivers, utility programs, and diskette images. The software products are encrypted and require activation keys which are used to unlock them. This provides a convenient method of distributing the software products and at the same time allows for an integrated, time-saving approach to product installation.

Each ServerGuide package contains a unique license number, which must be specified on your software order with the software product(s) part number. The ServerGuide license number and the software product(s) part number are used by IBM to generate activation keys, which are given to you. The activation keys can then be used to unlock the software product(s) for installation.

The following is the list of software products for which you will need an activation key in order to install:
