For information about the license management tools and how to set up your license server, see Managing licenses with Rational® Common Licensing. It also describes the different types of license keys and provides instructions for requesting, installing, upgrading and moving licenses. If you are installing IBM Rational products for the first time, you must read this information to understand the license configurations available and the processes for obtaining and managing the license keys.
Starting with Rational ClearQuest version 7.1.2, the License Key Administrator (LKAD) is not installed in the C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\common folder with Rational ClearQuest. LKAD is installed in to the C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalRLKS folder by default. To change your licensing settings, you must install LKAD.
Token licensing is available for Rational ClearQuest version 7.1.2. With token licensing, you buy a certain number of token licenses. If you use a Rational tool that checks out a FEATURE that is token-based, the FEATURE line in the license file specifies the number of tokens that are checked out. Token-based licenses can only be used with floating licenses. They cannot be used for authorized user license. For more details about token licensing, contact your local IBM marketing representative.
