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.
About this task
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:
- Your license administrator performs the return transaction in License Key Center.
- 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.
- Tell the license administrator to order a new license key file in License Key Center for the
new client.
- Remove the IBM Rational software from
the old client. See the installation guide for your IBM Rational product for the
removal procedures.
- Install the Rational software
on the new client.
- 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.
