Known Side Effects
The following known issues exist in this release:
1. AIX systems can not be upgraded from previous versions of ClearQuest. ClearQuest must be uninstalled on these systems first and then ClearQuest 8.0.1 can be installed. This is due to a limitation of Installation Manager.
2. You cannot install IBM Rational License Key Server and Rational License Key Administrator, version 8.1.3 and earlier, with 64-bit version of IBM Installation Manager. Review technote 1627779: Rational License Key Server and Rational License Key Administrator installation with 64-bit Installation Manager for more details.
