Before configuring the license server for Build Forge, review the
following requirements.
- All of the Management Console host computers in your environment
must be able to connect to the Rational license server host computer.
- The UNIX/Linux or Windows Rational license server must be set
up to start automatically and run as a service.
- To install and configure the product to use the license server,
the license administrator must provide you the host name and port
number of the Rational license server.
- The FLEXlm client software that is required to communicate with
the license server is installed and configured as part of the Management
Console installation.
Note: The supported version of the Rational License
Key Server changed from 7.x to 8.1.2 in Build Forge version 7.1.3.4.
If you intend to upgrade from a version before 7.1.3.4, you must also
upgrade the license server. Check the
Detailed System Requirements report for more
information.
