To change the Rational license server for the Management Console, make
the following modifications to the product license server configuration. You
must perform this procedure if:
- You entered an incorrect host name or other value during installation.
- The license server host name was greyed out during installation, indicating
that the FLEXlm client already registered a license server for the host.
- For your operating system, change the value of the RATIONAL_LICENSE_FILE
variable.
| Windows |
RATIONAL_LICENSE_FILE is in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm
License Manager |
| UNIX/Linux |
RATIONAL_LICENSE_FILE is set in the .flexlmrc file,
located in the home directory of the user who is running Build Forge |
Set this variable to the correct host name of the license
server:
port@hostname | @hostname
If the license
server port is 27000 (the default), then a port is not required.
- In the Management Console UI, select Administration → System.
- Locate the License Server setting and set its value to the host name of
the new Rational license server.
Use one of the following formats.
<host_name>:<port> | <host_name> | <port>:<host_name>
If
the license server port is 27000 (the default), then a port is not required.
- Click Refresh on your Web browser to verify that the Management
Console can connect to the new license server.
