IBM 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.
