Licensing for the Design Management Server is
role-based. When you purchase a role-based license for the Design Management Server,
you receive access to some or all of the Design Management capabilities.
Client access licenses
When you install the
Design Management Server,
you deploy the Design Management features, in addition to the
Jazz™ Team Server. You
then use activation kits to install client access licenses on the
Jazz Team Server and
assign these licenses to users so that they can access the Design
Management capabilities.
A client access license for a particular
role provides read, write, and comment access to some or all of the
available capabilities.
You install the client access license
activation kits on the Jazz Team Server,
on the Administration page, in the License Key Management section.
You assign the licenses to users in the Client Access License Management
section of Jazz User Administration.
For more information on client access licenses, see the related information links below.
Role-based client access licenses
The roles
in the following table correspond to the client access licenses that
you can purchase for
Design Management Server.
There are three role-based licenses that provide access to the capabilities
in the Design Management:
- Contributor - For extended team members
who need to collaborate on models and designs. The Rational Software
Architect Contributor license has the same capabilities as the Rational
Team Concert, Rational Quality Manager, and Rational Requirements
Composer Contributor licenses.
- Designer - (used within Rational Software
Architect) and Design Manager (used within
Rational Rhapsody) - For design practitioners using Rational Software
Architect or Rational Rhapsody to create models and designs. This
practitioner license has additional access to some of the capabilities
from the Change and Configuration Management, Requirements Management,
and Quality Management applications; similar to the Contributor client
access license.
- Design Reviewer - For extended team members
who need to collaborate on models and designs but do not need access
to the additional to capabilities from Change and Configuration Management,
Requirements Management, and Quality Management applications that
is provided by the Contributor license. This license is no longer
sold with Rational Software Architect. Existing users with Rational
Software Architect Design Reviewer licenses can use those licenses
with the 4.0 version of Design Management Server;
new users should use the Contributor license.
