You can determine the type of licenses you are using and,
if you are using user-based licenses, set up the license configuration
on your license server.
Before you begin
Determine which type of licenses you are using:
- Open the license key file, which has a .dat extension.
Example: rational_server_perm.dat
- Locate the FEATURE line. This lists the features
that you have installed that use the License Key Server.
- Locate the RPE_PUBLISH feature. This entry lists
licensing as user-based, server (floating), or evaluation.
Tip: If you are using both floating and user-based
licenses, verify that the user-based licenses are listed before the
floating licenses. Licenses are consumed in the order that they are
listed, so if a floating license is listed first, the floating license
is used even if the user is specified with a user-based license.
About this task
If you are using floating or evaluation licenses, you are
not required to complete any further configuration steps. If you are
changing from using evaluation licenses to using permanent floating
licenses, verify that the computers the client applications are installed
on have a
TELELOGIC_LICENSE_FILE environment
variable set and use the correct license path.
If you are
using user-based licenses, complete the task below.
