IBM Rational Common Licensing (powered
by FLEXlm software) and supported configurations.
Rational® uses
a software-based license management tool called FLEXlm from Acresso Corporation
to build a customized licensing model.
This information will help you plan the licensing configuration
for your environment.
Remember: Rational Common Licensing is
an optional licensing enforcement feature for IBM Rational Software Delivery Platform tools.
Rational Common Licensing (powered
by FLEXlm software) support is enabled in a new release of IBM Rational License Server
software for version 7.0 Rational Rational Software Delivery Platform products built
on the Eclipse platform. The new version of Rational License
Server software serves both previous Rational Common Licensing enabled
Team products (IBM Rational ClearCase®, IBM Rational ClearQuest® ,
etc.) and the new IBM Rational 7.0 products.
If you must serve both the Rational version
7.0 client products and the version 7.0 Team products, you must upgrade to
the latest version of the Rational License
Server software. Two separate servers are not required since Rational License
Server 7.0 is backward compatible with client products that use Rational Common Licensing from
earlier releases. Support for serving license keys to both new clients and
clients which have installed Rational Product
version 2003.xx is included.
