Installing permanent, term license agreement, and temporary
authorized user license keys on clients.
An authorized user license key is created for a specific
client and does not require a license server. Authorized user license
keys allow for portability, especially for customers who have isolated
computers or notebooks.
Request permanent
authorized user license keys from Rational® License Key Center
Rational License Key Center sends
you a permanent license file that contains license keys for the client
that you specified in Rational License Key Center.

You
can find the license key information for temporary or evaluation licenses
in the following sources:
