Setting up Rational Common Licensing, which is powered
by FLEXlm, is a key part of the installation process that must be
completed before you install Rational products.
ClearQuest version 8.0.1 requires these versions of the
Rational® licensing tools.
- Rational License Server versions 8.1.3 or later
- Rational License Key Administrator 8.1.3 or later
(Windows only)
Rational ClearQuest also supports token licensing.
If a Rational tool checks out a feature that is
token-based, the FEATURE line in the license file specifies the number of
tokens that are checked out. Token-based licenses can only be used with floating licenses. You
cannot use token licenses as authorized user licenses. For more details about token licensing,
contact your local IBM® marketing representative.
For more information, including instructions for setting up the Rational License Server and
managing
Rational licenses, see the following references:
Note: - You cannot use Installation Manager to manage licenses for Rational ClearCase® and Rational ClearQuest.
- If you are upgrading from ClearQuest version
7.x, see Considerations for upgrading licensing for information
about upgrading licensing.
License entitlements are established as part of purchasing the product. For information on
managing licenses and entitlements, see the
