Licensing changes for Rational DOORS upgrades

Before you upgrade to the current version of Rational® DOORS®, be aware of any differences to the way that licensing works in the previous and current versions.

Depending on which version you are using and whether you have a valid maintenance agreement, you might need a new license.

When version 8.2 was released, FLEXnet was upgraded to v11.5, and all Rational DOORS licenses were changed to use the Telelogic vendor daemon instead of the Rational DOORS daemon. This daemon allowed all Telelogic licenses to be merged into one license key. The default port number that is used for licensing was changed to 19353; the previous port that was used for licensing was 7192.

Rainbow dongles are no longer supported by Rational DOORS. If you use Rainbow dongles, you must contact your local Support department. You do not need to replace other existing hardware licenses.
