The license code can be entered by selecting 70. Configuration and licences followed by 50. License Information from the InterForm400 Main menu.
To supply you with a license code you need to provide:
The serial number (DSPSYSVAL QSRLNBR)
The model of your iSeries (DSPSYSVAL QMODEL)
Feature code (DSPSYSVAL QPRCFEAT)..
This information can be displayed in option 50. License Information in the InterForm400 Configuration menu:

Use option 5=Display to display the current license code. If you are mirroring the machine and thus wants to insert a license code for the other serial number, you can insert the license code for your mirroring machine as either Mirroring key-1 or Mirroring key-2.
License codes and mirroring is covered in this video:
Enclose a printout of this screen when ordering a production code, or write the first five lines of information on your purchase order. Use “2=Change” for one of the license codes and paste the license code into this screen and press Enter.
InterForm400 can run a permanent code and a temporary code simultaneously: When the temporary code runs out, InterForm400 will fall back to the permanent code.
A test license is limited to a specific date interval, but gives you full access to all functionality in InterForm400. A test license works on any version of InterForm400.
A permanent license is linked to a specific year version of InterForm400 e.g. to all 2018 versions, so if you e.g. upgrade to a 2019 version (while running a production/permanent license), then a new license key is needed. The good thing is, that InterForm400 will automatically insert the new license key during the upgrade, if the machine is recognized as having maintenance. If this does not work you will need to get either a temporary test license or a new, permanent license.
The permanent license may only enable specific functionality/modules. These limitations can be seen in the license screen above.
A special light version license key can also be purchased. The limitations of the light versions are listed below.
