Determining the number of requiredIBM Rational® ClearQuest® MultiSite licenses.
Rational ClearQuest MultiSite requires
both a IBM Rational ClearQuest license
and a Rational ClearQuest MultiSite license.
Any access to a replicated database requires both a Rational ClearQuest license
key and a Rational ClearQuest MultiSite license
key.
You can calculate the number of Rational ClearQuest MultiSite licenses
your site requires by determining how many developers will access replicated
databases. If all of your developers will access replicated databases, you
must have the same number of Rational ClearQuest MultiSite licenses
as Rational ClearQuest licenses.
If not all developers will access replicated databases, you can purchase fewer Rational ClearQuest MultiSite licenses.
For example, a company has two sites, with 20 developers at site
A and 5 developers at site B. The company has three databases at site A; two
of them will be replicated to site B and one will not be replicated. Five
of the developers at site A will access only the unreplicated database, and
the remaining 15 will work in all databases. All of the developers at site
B will access replicated databases. Therefore, the company must
purchase the following number of licenses:
Site |
Number of Rational ClearQuest licenses |
Number of Rational ClearQuest MultiSite licenses |
A |
20 |
15 |
B |
5 |
5 |
Note: This example assumes that you purchase a Rational ClearQuest license
for each user. If you have fewer Rational ClearQuest licenses
than users, purchase a proportionate number of Rational ClearQuest MultiSite licenses.
For example, if site B purchased three Rational ClearQuest licenses,
they would also purchase three Rational ClearQuest MultiSite licenses.
