Configuring a UNIX system license server

With floating and named-user floating keys you can manage and maintain licenses on single, multiple, or redundant Rational® license servers on Linux® and UNIX® systems.
Remember: For Rational Software Delivery Platform version 7.0 products built on the Eclipse framework, the enablement of IBM Rational Common Licensing and floating licenses on clients is an optional feature allowing administrators to easily manage and enforce licensing across the enterprise.

This topic describes how to set up and use UNIX system license servers. This information is intended for the system administrators or users who manage the licenses. If you want to use a Windows® license server, see Configuring a license server for Windows systems.

Some of these tasks are not recommended for the casual or novice user. Attempt them only if you have experience with the UNIX system operating system and Rational Common Licensing (powered by FLEXlm software). You can apply the UNIX system commands to all UNIX system operating systems unless the text indicates the command is for a specific UNIX system operating system.

Remember: Rational Common Licensing (powered by FLEXlm software) support for version 7.0 Rational Software Delivery Platform products built on the Eclipse platform is enabled in a new release of Rational License Server software. The new version of Rational License Server software serves both previous Rational Common Licensing enabled Team products (Rational ClearCase® , Rational ClearQuest®, etc.) and the new Rational 7.0 products. If you must serve both the Rational 7.0 client products and the 7.0 Team products, you must upgrade to this latest version of the license server. Two separate servers are not required since this new version of the server supports the previous clients and the new Rational 7.0 clients.
