Setting up licenses
You can determine the type of licenses you are using and,
if you are using user-based licenses, set up the license configuration
on your license server.
Before you begin
- Open the license key file, which has a .dat extension. Example: rational_server_perm.dat
- Locate the FEATURE line. This lists the features that you have installed that use the License Key Server.
- Locate the RPE_PUBLISH feature. This entry lists licensing as user-based, server (floating), or evaluation.
Tip: If you are using both floating and user-based
licenses, verify that the user-based licenses are listed before the
floating licenses. Licenses are consumed in the order that they are
listed, so if a floating license is listed first, the floating license
is used even if the user is specified with a user-based license.
About this task
If you are using user-based licenses, complete the task below.
Setting up user-based licenses
Create an options file that contains a list of the Rational Publishing Engine users
and then specify that file in your licensing data configuration file.
Procedure
What to do next
If you are changing from using evaluation licenses to using permanent user-based licenses, verify that the computers the client applications are installed on have a TELELOGIC_LICENSE_FILE environment variable set and use the correct license path.
