Question & Answer


Question

Where and how can I download the software for the IBM® Rational® License Key Server, IBM® RLKS Administration Agent, and IBM® RLKS Administration And Reporting Tool?

Cause

Unable to find latest version of IBM® (Rational®) License Key Server software

Answer

The following three components can be downloaded as an individual file within your Rational® product bundle:
    • IBM® (Rational®) License Key Server
    • IBM® RLKS Administration and Reporting Agent
    • IBM® RLKS Administration And Reporting Tool

The following example is based on IBM® Rational® DOORS®:

Software downloads for products under maintenance are available on Passport Advantage® Online.

The License Key Server and associated components are listed as a downloadable part of the (Rational®) software of which you purchased Floating User licenses.

To access software downloads, you need to be authorized by the Primary Contact of the company account.
 

Proceed as follows:

Log on to Passport Advantage® Online.

  1. Select: Software download & media access and follow the links
  2. Do NOT select operating system and language when asked in a pop-up, click “Go”
  3. Select individual files and expand that area (twice) by clicking the " +".

You are presented with a table that contains numerous individual files, including Rational® License Key Server related download options.

Another download option would be FixCentral. You can download the most recent version, as well as previous versions of the License Key Server, the Reporting Tool and the Administration Agent.

In the Product Selector field of the "Find Product" tab enter "IBM Common Licensing".

In the Installed Version field, select the version you want to download from the drop-down list (for example, 8.1.6)

In the Platform field enter the operating system that is installed on the machine on which you intend to install the License Key Server software. Alternatively you can select "All".

Click "Continue" to proceed.
