To use licenses, you install a Rational® Common Licensing server,
import your license keys, and link the IBM® UrbanCode Deploy servers
or agents to the license server.
Before you begin
Ensure that you have a
Rational Common Licensing server
with licenses for
IBM UrbanCode Deploy.
About this task
For information about the types of licenses, see
License scenarios.
Procedure
- On the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server,
click .
- On the System Settings page, under Licensing,
specify the connection information for the license server and click Save. You can specify the port and host name or IP address
for the license server, such as 27000@RCLServer.example.com.
To avoid problems when a license server is not available, you can
specify multiple license servers. In this case, separate each address
with colons on Linux and UNIX or semicolons on Windows, as in the following example: 27000@RCLServer.example.com;27000@backupRCLServer.example.com .
For more complicated license server scenarios, see this document: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/rational/v0r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.rational.license.doc/topics/r_specify_lic_servers.html The Server License Type field shows
the type of licensing that the server is using.
- If you are using virtual server and managed virtual server
(Authorized) licensing, specify whether to assign licenses to the
agents automatically or manually. These steps are not necessary for
the other types of licensing.
- To assign licenses to agents automatically, select the Automatic
Agent Licensing check box and then click Save.
This check box is meaningful only if you are using virtual server
and managed virtual server (Authorized) licensing.
- To assign licenses to agents manually, follow these steps:
- Click .
- Next to an agent, click Actions and
then click License. This menu item
is available only if the Server License Type field
is set to Server Agent and the Automatic
Agent Licensing check box is cleared.
- In the Confirmation window, click OK. The License column for the agent
shows AUTHORIZED and the agent is licensed.
If you are using a license scenario other than virtual server
and managed virtual server (Authorized) licensing, the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server
assigns licenses to agents automatically. If you are using token licenses
or floating licenses, the server attempts to retrieve the necessary
license or licenses from the license servers that are available to
the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server.
Results
Now you can run processes on the licensed servers and agents.
