Modifying the floating license time-out period

Steps to set the time-out period for a floating license.
About this task

To change the time-out period, edit the options file. Your options file is located in the rational_dir\common directory and might have the name rational.opt or ibmratl.opt. If you do not have an options file, you must create one. For information on creating an options file see Setting up the options file.

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 Rational Common Licensing time-out setting.
