To change the Rational license server for the Management Console,
make the following modifications to the product license server configuration.
You must perform this procedure if:
- You entered an incorrect host name or other value during installation.
- The license server host name was greyed out during installation,
indicating that the FLEXlm client already registered a license server
for the host.
- This step applies only to Build Forge versions 7.1 to 7.1.3.3.
For later versions, proceed to step 2. For your operating system,
change the value of the RATIONAL_LICENSE_FILE variable.
Windows |
RATIONAL_LICENSE_FILE is in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm
License Manager |
UNIX/Linux |
RATIONAL_LICENSE_FILE is set in the .flexlmrc file,
located in the home directory of the user who is running Build Forge |
Set this variable to the correct host name of the
license server:
port@hostname | @hostname
If
the license server port is 27000 (the default), then a port is not
required.
- In the Management Console UI, select Administration
→ System.
- Locate the License Server setting and set its value to the host
name of the new Rational license server.
Use one of the following
formats.
<host_name>:<port> | <host_name> | <port>:<host_name>
If
the license server port is 27000 (the default), then a port is not
required.
- Click Refresh on your Web browser to verify that the Management
Console can connect to the new license server.
