ClearQuest® version
8.0.x supports Rational® Common
Licensing. Based on your upgrade path, determine whether you must
upgrade your licensing server and client software and migrate existing
licenses to support the newer version.
ClearQuest version
8.0.x requires Rational Common
Licensing version 8.1.3. Because Rational Common
Licensing is compatible with an earlier version, you can use either
of these versions to manage licenses for Rational ClearQuest version 7.1.1 and earlier.
- Upgrading from ClearQuest version
7.1.2 or later
- When you upgrade from ClearQuest version
7.1.2 or later to version 8.0.x, upgrade the Rational licensing software to version 8.1.3.
- Upgrading from ClearQuest version
7.0.x or 7.1.x
- Before you upgrade ClearQuest,
you must upgrade the Rational licensing
software for administering product licenses.

or later if you want modify your licensing settings.

earlier than 7.1.2, the License Key Administrator was installed during

product into this directory: C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalRLKS. If
