Licenses for Rational Performance Test Server and Rational Test Virtualization Server

You can either buy Processor Value Unit (PVU) printed licenses or token licenses.

For information about Processor value unit (PVU) licensing and token licensing, see License descriptions.

Processor value unit (PVU) licensing

In this licensing mode, you receive printed versions of the licenses. No configuration is necessary.

Agent mode licensing

From Version 8.5.0.2 onwards, Rational® Performance Test Server and Rational Test Virtualization Server provide support for Agent mode licensing. In Agent mode licensing, you can use token licenses. Agent mode licensing requires that a Rational License Server is installed in the environment and configured with valid licenses in order for the Rational Integration Tester Agent to operate. Additionally, the Agent must be configured with the details of the license server so that the Agent is able to communicate with the license server at runtime.

For more information about Agent mode licensing, see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27039621.

Agent mode licensing requires manual configuration. For information about configuring the agent to support token licenses, see Configuring agents to support token licensing.
