Installing license keys

You can use the License Key Management section of Jazz Server Administration to install and manage server activation keys and client access license activation keys. Because Rational® Quality Manager includes a set of trial licenses, you will need to install the license keys when the trial licenses expire after 60 days. Installing the license keys updates trial licenses into valid operating licenses.
To install the license keys:
  1. Log on as a user with JazzAdmins repository permissions.
  2. Click Admin, and then select Jazz Server Administration.
  3. Under Configuration, select License Key Management.
  4. In Server Activation Key, click Browse and navigate to the server activation key location.
  5. Select the activation key.
    Note: The server activation key and corresponding client access license keys must be compatible. If you upload an incompatible server activation key, some or all existing client access licenses can become temporarily deactivated. After you upload the appropriate client access license(s), they will reactivate.
  6. In Client Access License Activation Keys, click Browse and navigate to the client access license activation key location.
  7. Select the activation key.
    Note: While installing the CAL activation key, you must specify the required and purchased number of licenses in the Purchased field. If you do not complete this field, the license will not be enabled even though you have purchased and installed the license.
  8. While installing the CAL activation key, you must specify the required and purchased number of licenses in the Purchased field. If you do not complete this field, the license will not be enabled even though you have purchased and installed the license.

    For a Derby database configuration, note that the maximum number of allowed licensed users is 10. For other databases like DB2, the maximum number of allowed licensed users is 250.
