Moving a license key

If you are moving software, you must move the license keys.

To move a node-locked or floating key:

  1. Return the license key on the old client.
    Note: To help prevent confusion between the license key update file for the old client and the license key file for the new client, complete the return process before you order license keys for the new client.
  2. Use Add/Remove Programs on the Windows® Control Panel to remove the IBM Rational® software from the old client or server.
  3. Install the Rational software on the new client or server.
  4. Request a new license key file from the IBM Rational License Key Center.
  5. Import the license key on the new client or server.
  6. If you are moving floating keys, start the license server and give users the host name of the new license server.
