Installing Rational License Key Server
Procedure
- Install Rational License
Key Server.
For Windows, AIX®, or Linux: If you use Rational License Server version 7.0.1 or earlier, upgrade to the Rational License Key Server v8.1.1 or later.
For Linux for zSeries: You must install Rational License Key Server v8.1.1 or later on a supported platform.
Rational License Key Server is included with the Rational Asset Manager installation media. You can also retrieve the latest version of Rational License Server through your Passport Advantage account, or through the IBM Support Portal.
For information about installing and configuring the license server, see the following topics in the License Management Guide:- Windows: Configuring a license server for Windows
- AIX or Linux: Configuring a license server for UNIX
For an overview of Rational License Server, see the delivery and support web page for that server: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21265239
- Request and install your license keys.
The number of license keys that are available determines the number of users that can be simultaneously logged in to the web application.
If you are using redundant license servers, you must install your licenses on every server.
If you are using multiple license servers that are distributed on different networks, you must have separate licenses on every license server.
To upgrade, you must file a request for updated license keys.

- Start the Rational License Server. For more information, see the IBM Rational License Management Guide or the License Key Administrator Help.
