• #5: <Course name> <Lesson number> - License Manager At various times throughout the life cycle of an Oracle Applications system, you may decide to add other products, country-specific functionalities, or languages. If you do, you must register the new products and functionalities. This registration process is necessary so that other utilities recognize that the new components are activated. You use License Manager, an Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) utility, to register new Oracle Applications products, country-specific functionalities, and languages. Note that License Manager does not set up license agreements or determine pricing. It only registers the products you have licensed through the Oracle Store or the country-specific functionalities and languages you plan to add.
• #6: <Course name> <Lesson number> -
• #7: Accessing License Manager You can access License Manager from Oracle Applications Manager (OAM). Using the seeded System Administration responsibility, navigate to Oracle Applications Manager. From the Oracle Applications Manager Site Map, select the Administration tab, then click on the License Manager link under System Configuration.
• #8: License Manager Home Page From the License Manager Home page, select one of the licensing (registration) options or report options by clicking the associated link. Complete the information to register products, country-specific functionalities, or languages added since the initial installation of Oracle Applications. If you want to view a report, select a report type from the list and then complete the selection criteria. Once you have successfully completed the registration information, or you have finished viewing reports, click Logout to close License Manager.
• #10: <Course name> <Lesson number> - Registering Products Once you have set up the required product licensing agreement, you must register the new products in your system. If you do not, you will not be able to apply patches in their entirety or perform other maintenance tasks for these products. There are three possible product registration options in License Manager: License the entire Oracle Applications E-Business Suite This option registers all products in the E-Business Suite price bundle in a single operation. License Component Applications The E-Business Suite is made up of modules, each representing a major Applications group, such as Financials, Marketing, HR Applications and so on. Each module is divided into application components, for example Financials, TeleSales, or Self-Service HR. When you register a component application, you register the components (products) that make up that application. License products individually This option registers products that you specify.
• #11: Registering the E-Business Suite Registering the E-Business Suite is a three step process, which consists of: Registering the E-Business Suite Registering add-on products Reviewing the selected products
• #12: <Course name> <Lesson number> - Registering the E-Business Suite To register the entire Oracle E-Business Suite, click Products on the License Manager Home page to see the License Products page. Select License E-Business Suite and click Continue.
• #13: <Course name> <Lesson number> - Registering the E-Business Suite The License E-Business Suite page displays the list of modules included in the Oracle E-Business Suite. Notice that all the check boxes are grayed and checked. Since you have chosen to register the entire E-Business Suite, there are no choices to make on this page. All the modules and their component applications will be registered. Click Next to continue.
• #14: Registering the E-Business Suite The License Add-on products page displays E-Business Suite Add-on products. Some products are not included in the E-Business Suite price bundle. For example, if you have recently licensed Advanced Supply Chain Planning, you must register it on this page, as it is not included in the standard E-Business Suite bundle. Click the check box beside an Add-on product to register it. Any component applications or products that are already registered in your system are grayed and checked. Boxes that are grayed and not checked identify the name of a component application group. This group label is for identification only and cannot be selected. Click Next to continue.
• #15: Registering the E-Business Suite Review the products you have selected for registration. License Manager displays the Add-on products you selected on the previous screen and any E-Business Suite products that have not been registered previously. E-Business Suite products that were already registered in your existing installation are not shown. Click Submit to continue. License Manager displays a confirmation page. Click OK to complete the product registration and click Logout to exit License Manager. Instructor Note: Once a product is registered, it cannot be unregistered.
• #16: <Course name> <Lesson number> - Post Registration Steps Apply product patches: There may be product-specific patches or mini-packs required for the newly licensed products. In order to determine if there are patches to apply, use Patch Wizard. Once you have determined which patches (if any) you need to apply, use AutoPatch to apply the updates. Generate files: As patches are applied to Oracle Applications as part of general maintenance, files belonging to unregistered products are not generated. You should generate all product files now, before you use the newly registered product. If you generated files as a part of applying a product-specific patch (in the previous step), omit this step. Perform product-specific implementation steps: Setup or implementation steps may be required for the newly registered products. See the product-specific documentation for details. Instructor Note: Patch Wizard is covered in the Patching section of this course.
• #17: Registering Component Applications To register component applications, select License Component Application on the License Products page and click Continue.
• #18: Registering Component Applications On the License Component Applications page, License Manager displays the list of application modules. Each module is expanded to show its individual components. Notice that component applications that are already registered are grayed and checked. Applications that are grayed without a check are for display only and cannot be selected. Collapse the component applications that you do not want to register by clicking the icon next to their names. Then, to select all the products included in the expanded component applications, click Select All. To select only some of the components, click them individually. Notice that the Select All option applies only to those component applications that you have expanded. Click Next to continue.
• #19: Registering Component Applications License Manager displays the products that will be licensed if you continue. Review your selections. If you selected an application on the previous page, you cannot deselect it on this page. To make changes, click Back and then revise the selections.
