Modifying the floating license time-out period

Steps to set the time-out period for a floating license.
To change the time-out period, create a text file called rational.opt in the rational_dir\common directory. Enter one of the following two commands in the text file:
  1. TIMEOUT feature seconds directs the license server to reclaim the feature (the product as it is listed in your license key file) after the number of seconds that you enter into the file.
  2. TIMEOUTALL seconds directs the license server to reclaim all products after the number of seconds that you enter into the file.

The value for each of these options must be a minimum of 1800 seconds (30 minutes) and can be greater than the default value of 7200 seconds (120 minutes). The minimum value for the IBM Rational® Common Licensing time-out setting differs from the value used by the IBM Rational ClearCase® Licensing time-out setting.
