Importing named-user license keys

Import the license key file on the license server by using License Key Administrator (LKAD).
Remember: You must have local administrative privileges for the server before you can import the license key into LKAD.
To import a license key file:
  1. Click License Keys > Import License Key(s).
  2. In the Import License Key(s) window, find the *.upd or *.txt file (license key file) and select it.
  3. Click Open. The default location for the license key file is install_path\IBM Rational\common.
  4. Click Import in the Confirm Import window.
  5. Edit the options file rational.opt. LKAD provides an options file in which you can assign named-user license keys. As soon as you import the license key file, the Edit Options File window opens. If you choose to edit the file:
    1. The options file automatically opens in a text editor. Follow the instructions in the file for the correct syntax in assigning user ids to license keys.
    2. After you edit the file, save it, and then close the file.
      Remember: You can edit the options file while the license server is started, but stop and start the license server after you have edited the file.
