Receiving permanent license keys

Import the license key to a license server or client.

After you order your keys in the IBM Rational® License Key Center, an IBM Rational license file is generated. Click Download Keys to download the license file in Rational License Key Center.

If you request a permanent license key by fax and you have specified an e-mail address in your contact information, you will receive a license key file by e-mail. You can copy the permanent license file from the e-mail enabled computer and install it on the computer that is not e-mail enabled. If you cannot provide an e-mail address, contact IBM Software Support for Rational products.

After you receive the license key file:
  • Import the floating or named-user floating license key file on the license server.
  • Import the User Authorized license key file on the client.
