During installation, you provide the host name and TCP/IP port
of the Rational license server. Obtain this information from your
license administrator.
To configure a server-based license:
- In the Installation Manager installer, on the License Server Configuration
page, select License Server.
- (UNIX and Linux) At Which user should Build Forge run
as, accept the default user (root) or specify a different
user. If you do specify a different user, you must still start Build
Forge as root, but Build Forge starts the engine and Apache Tomcat
as the user specified during this installation step. The user must
have read and execute permissions for the database libraries and the
JDBC jar files specified in the Database Configuration page in Installation
Manager.
- At License Server, provide a valid host
name for the Rational license server.
If you provide a host name,
this information is automatically added to Build Forge system settings.
If
you do not know the host name, enter any character or value in this
field and update Build Forge system settings in the UI after installation
is complete.
Important: Do not leave this field blank.
Leaving this field blank might result in an incomplete installation
and an unusable product.
- At Port, provide the TCP/IP port for the
license server. The default port is 27000.
- Click Next to continue with the installation.
