To use licenses, you install a Rational® Common Licensing server,
import your license keys, and link the IBM® UrbanCode™ Deploy servers
or agents to the license server.
Before you begin
Ensure that you have a
Rational Common Licensing server
with licenses for
IBM UrbanCode Deploy.
About this task
For information about the types of licenses, see
License scenarios.
Procedure
- On the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server,
click .
- On the System Settings page, under Licensing,
specify the connection information for the license server and click
Save. You can specify the port and host name or IP address
for the license server, such as 27000@RCLServer.example.com.
To avoid problems when a license server is not available, you can
specify multiple license servers. In this case, separate each address
with colons on Linux and UNIX or semicolons on Windows, as in the following example: 27000@RCLServer.example.com;27000@backupRCLServer.example.com .
For more complicated license server scenarios, see this document: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSSTWP_8.1.4/com.ibm.rational.license.doc/topics/r_specify_lic_servers.html. For more information about setting up a Rational Common Licensing server and applying licenses, see the Rational Common Licensing help: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSSTWP_8.1.4/com.ibm.rational.license.doc/helpindex_RCL.html. For
more information about licensing, see License management. The Server License Type field shows the type of licensing that
the server is using.
- If you are using virtual server and managed virtual server
(Authorized) licensing, specify whether to assign licenses to the
agents automatically or manually. These steps are not necessary for
the other types of licensing.
- To assign licenses to agents automatically, set Automatic Agent
Licensing to On and then click Save. This
setting is meaningful only if you are using virtual server and managed virtual server (Authorized)
licensing.
- To assign licenses to agents manually, follow these steps:
- Click .
- Next to an agent, click Actions and then click
License. This menu item is available only if the Server License Type field is
set to Server Agent and Automatic Agent Licensing is set to
Off.
- In the Confirmation window, click OK. The License column for the agent
shows AUTHORIZED and the agent is licensed.
If you are using a license scenario other than virtual server and managed virtual server
(Authorized) licensing, the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server
assigns licenses to agents automatically. If you are using token licenses or floating licenses, the
server attempts to retrieve the necessary license or licenses from the license servers that are
available to the IBM UrbanCode Deploy
server.Note: If you provision cloud environments by using the blueprint designer and use virtual
server and managed virtual server (Authorized) licensing, configure the server to assign licenses to
agents automatically.
- Restart the IBM UrbanCode Deploy
server. You must restart the server for it to recognize the new type of license.
Results
Now you can run processes on the licensed servers and agents.
