Moving permanent authorized user keys

Moving a authorized user license key from one client to another requires a return transaction and a new license key transaction in IBM Rational® License Key Center.

To help prevent you from confusing the license key update file for the old client with the license key file for the new client, ask your license administrator to order license keys for the new client after you receive the license key update file for the old client.

To move a license key from one client to another:
  1. Your license administrator performs the return transaction in License Key Center.
  2. After you receive the update file from License Key Center, import the file on your client. Importing the update file completes the return transaction. For more information, see Installing permanent or temporary keys.
  3. Tell the license administrator to order a new license key file in License Key Center for the new client.
  4. Remove the IBM Rational software from the old client. See the installation guide for your IBM Rational product for the removal procedures.
  5. Install the Rational software on the new client.
  6. Import the license key file on the new client. For more information, see Installing permanent or temporary keys.
Remember: Your license administrator can return and import new floating license keys on the IBM Rational license server.
