License Key Administrator prompts for FLEXlm® licenses after installing ClearCase®

Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote answers how to respond when the License Key Administrator prompts for FLEXlm®  licenses after installing IBM® Rational® ClearCase® to use Classic ClearCase®  (Atria) Licensing.

Resolving The Problem

FLEXlm®  licensing, IBM®  Rational®  Common Licensing, is an available licensing scheme for use with Rational®  ClearCase®  7.0 and later versions.

The former licensing scheme, ClearCase®  (Atria) Licensing, is also still available, and during the installation one must be selected for use.

Note: These are independent options, and only one can be configured for ClearCase®  at a time.

 

After installing ClearCase®  7.0, the License Key Administrator will open and ask for FLEXlm®  license details, even if ClearCase® (Atria) Licensing was the selected license scheme.

You can disregard and close the License Key Administrator; you do not need to enter FLEXlm® license details when ClearCase®  Atria Licensing is in use.

If ClearCase®  Atria licensing was chosen after installation, open the ClearCase®  Control Panel (Start > Run type cc.cpl) and click the License tab to change to IBM®  Rational®  Common Licensing.
