    • If the option status is Authorized, it is not required for your application, but it has been preauthorized for you. In this case, it has not yet been installed and you can decide whether or not to install it.

    • If this option status is Installed, it was purchased with the application software, and is a requirement for your application.

    • If this option status is Unauthorized or empty, it has not yet been authorized for installation.

  6. To authorize and install additional options that have been purchased separately from the application software, follow the instructions in Table 2, " Authorizing and Installing Options " .
