If you want to move a product installation with an authorized
user license from one computer to another, you must uninstall the
product on the first machine and reinstall the product on the second
machine.
Attention: During the uninstallation process,
the permanent license key is also removed. Be sure to have your original
product activation kit on hand to import the permanent license key
and license agreement to the new computer. If your activation kit
did not come on a CD and you no longer have the downloaded activation
kit, go to Passport Advantage® to download
another activation kit using your product order information.
To
move a license key from one computer to another:
- Remove the IBM Rational® software
from the old computer. See the installation guide for your IBM Rational product
for the removal procedures.
- Install the Rational software
on the new computer.
- In the IBM Installation Manager,
import the license key file from the activation kit to the new computer.
For more information, see Installing permanent or Fixed Term License (FTL) keys.
