Setting up Your license on a Client Machine
Before you start
There are three license types that can be used by IBM Rational client software. Before you run the license setup, make sure a valid license is available. The license types are explained in Table 1.
Table 1 License types for IBM Rational licensesFor more information see Understanding IBM Rational Licenses, and the FlexNet License Administration Guide, which is available from the support area of the Flexera website at www.flexera.com.
Setting up your license on Windows
There are several ways to setup licenses for FlexNet. Choose one of the following that best suite your needs.
- If you are using floating licenses you can edit the license.dat file in the installation directory to have the following format:
SERVER licserver 1 27000USE_SERVER- If you are using floating licenses you can set the environment variable TELELOGIC_LICENSE_FILE to 27000@licserver.
- If you are using floating licenses you can set the environment variable LM_LICENSE_FILE to 27000@licserver.
- If you are using a node-locked license keep the license.dat file in the installation directory.
- If you are using a node-locked license set one of the environment variables TELELOGIC_LICENSE_FILE or LM_LICENSE_FILE to the full path where the license.dat file is found.
- If you are using a FLEXid license keep the license.dat file in the installation directory.
- If you are using a FLEXid license set one of the environment variables TELELOGIC_LICENSE_FILE or LM_LICENSE_FILE to the full path where the license.dat file is found.
If you are using a FLEXid dongle, you must install the needed drivers for the specific dongle used, these drivers can be found at www.flexera.com.
Setting up your license on UNIX
On UNIX machines the easiest way to setup licenses is to ensure that the license.dat file is placed in the installation directory. This file should have the following content:
SERVER licserver 1 27000USE_SERVERThe name of the license server is licserver and 27000 is the portnumber used.
As an alternative the environment variables TELELOGIC_LICENSE_FILE or LM_LICENSE_FILE can be set to point at the license server. If you are using the Bourne or K shell enter
setenv TELELOGIC_LICENSE_FILE=portnumber@servernameIf you are using the C shell enter
env TELELOGIC_LICENSE_FILE portnumber@servername
