If you have two or more products whose FLEXnet license
servers run on the same computer, you might be able to merge their
licenses into a single license file.
About this task
Different vendors use different algorithms to generate the
host ID. The host ID uniquely identifies the computer. The vendors
can use a custom algorithm, or they can generate the host ID using:
- The ethernet address of the network interface card.
- The disk serial number of the boot drive .
- The computer's Internet address.
You cannot merge two license files if different algorithms
are used to generate the host ID. For example if license file uses
the Internet address and the other license file uses the disk serial
number.
If the license files use different algorithms, you can
ask IBM Rational to create a new license file that uses the same algorithm
that the other vendor uses.
