Licensing Information ========================================================== Rational Rose RealTime, like most Rational software, is a licensed product. This means that you cannot run the product without a license key. The product you purchased has either a node-locked (client-based) or a floating (server-based) license. Along with your software shipment, you received an envelope containing a Startup License Key Certificate for this product. You need this key in order to run your software. The startup license key will expire in approximately 8 weeks. To continue running the software, please be sure to request your permanent key as soon as it is available. The availability date is listed on your Startup License Key Certificate. Once you receive your license key follow the steps for installing a permanent license key in your Rational Rose RealTime Install Guide. For a full description of license types, installation and usage please consult the "Rational Rose RealTime Install Guide". Please check the Installation Guide for detailed instructions regarding License Key Administration. Licensing Tips: - Consult your documentation for complete information on licensing. - If you need to move licenses from one machine to another, please contact Rational Licensing Support. - Please run the Rational License Key Administrator (Windows platforms) or the Rose RealTime License Administrator (UNIX platforms) and issue your request for permanent keys immediately after you complete the installation. ========================================================== 5. Known Licensing Limitations ========================================================== There were no known licensing limitations at the time of release. ========================================================== 6.

Updates ========================================================== The following updates and issues should be noted: - On the UNIX platform, if the Toolset freezes on exit, you will need to manually kill the Rose RT process to free up CPU and memory resources allocated to the defunct toolset session. - If you are receiving the message “Unable to connect to target” when trying to execute a component instance on a target, change the Connect Delay on the Component Instance specification to two or more seconds. - On UNIX, the toolset will freeze when the user specifies "/bin/vi" as the external editor and then tries to launch the external editor from the code edit pane. If you are using a non-GUI based external editor, this should be specified using "xterm -e /bin/vi" so that the editor has a terminal (tty) to display to. - On the HP-UX platform, the HP-UX Make restricts dependency filenames to 160 characters. We recommend the use of Gnu-Make to work around this problem. Alternatively, you may shorten the path-names to your class files to avoid this issue. - When using the xxgdb debugger tool on Solaris, the Load button is always grayed out - this is the expected behavior for xxgdb as we are not able to load the executable. The executable must be loaded manually. - When using the xxgdb tool you should compile your component instance with the "-g" flag. Running your component instance without the component being compiled with the "-g" option will cause xxgdb to hang. - The on-line help may contain some suspect links to Flash animations. If you select a link and the animation does not appear, you can instead access the animation via the concept tutorials. ========================================================== 8.
