Purchasing licenses
You can purchase new licenses if your current product license is about to expire or if you want to acquire more product licenses for team members.
Procedure
- Determine the type of license you want to purchase
- Go to ibm.com® or contact your IBM® marketing representative to purchase the product license. For details, visit the IBM web page on "How to buy software".
- Depending on the type of license you purchase, use the
Proof of Entitlement you receive and do one of the following to enable
your product:
- If you purchase authorized user licenses, go to Passport Advantage® and follow the instructions there for downloading your product activation kit file. After you download the activation kit, you must import the product activation .jar file with Installation Manager.
- If you purchase floating licenses, connect to the IBM Rational® License Key Center.
An IBM registration is required.
You can use your Proof of Entitlement to obtain floating license keys
for your license server.
Optionally, you can also go to Passport Advantage to download the activation kit for your product. After you import the activation kit, you can switch from a floating to a permanent license type if you use work offline for long periods.
To import the activation kit or enable floating license support for your product, use the Manage Licenses wizard in IBM Installation Manager.
