Error description

  • After installing the IBM Rational License Key Server (RLKS)
    Administration and Reporting Tool  (ART) Agent service on a
    Microsoft Windows host, the agent may not start automatically if
    the Agent install directory is not on the Windows 'System' drive
    (Usually C:).
    
    The only current workarounds to this issue are:
    - Run the agent manually as in the previous releases
    - Edit the startRCLAgent.bat and stopRCLAgent.bat files to
    correct the references to the incorrect installation location.
