Description of the order in which licenses are requested.
An
IBM Rational® product
that uses
IBM Rational Common Licensing (powered
by FLEXlm software) requests licenses in this order, by default:
- Authorized user before a floating license. An IBM Rational product
requests a authorized user license before a floating license regardless
of whether it is a Rational Lifecycle
Package or point-product license.
- Point-product license before a Rational Lifecycle
Package license. For example, IBM Rational Purify is
sold as part of a IBM Rational Lifecycle
Package and as a stand-alone product. Among a group of authorized
user and floating licenses, Purify will first request a Purify license,
and then request various Rational Lifecycle
Package licenses in a specific order.
- License of the last Rational Lifecycle
Package installed.
You can use the License Usage Mapper in LKAD to change
the license usage order or have the application not search for any
or all Rational Lifecycle
Package keys.
Table 1 describes
the default license usage order for each Rational product
that uses Rational Common Licensing (powered
by FLEXlm software).
