As a Team space
Owner, you
can configure IBM® Common License Key
Server
for the team spaces on the License Configuration page
so that members of the team space can perform various operations such as
creating a project, running tests, and so on.
You must have completed the following tasks:
-
Configured the licenses that you purchased on IBM Common License Key
Server.
-
Installed the product and signed up as a user on Test Hub.
-
Optional: Created a team space. See Creating a team space.
-
Been assigned the role of a Team space
Owner of the team space.
You must have
a valid license to work with the team spaces that you create on Test Hub. You must provide a
separate IP address or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of IBM Common License Key
Server for the
team spaces when you configure the licenses. If you provided the IP address or FQDN of IBM Common License Key
Server that is
already configured for any other team space, then the configuration of the
license for the team space fails with an error message. If you delete the team
space, then the IP address or FQDN of IBM Common License Key
Server used for
that team space is released. You can then use that IP address
or FQDN of IBM Common License Key
Server for another team space.
Note: When you
upgrade Test Hub from the
previous version to the latest version, then the license configuration of the
previous release applies to the initial team space. You can verify the
information from the License Configuration page of the
initial team space.
-
Log in to Test Hub.
-
Click the Switch Team Space icon
from the left navigation
pane.
-
Open the team space for which you want to configure the license by using the
Switch to option.
Note: The Switch to option
is displayed only if you have multiple team spaces.
-
Click in the navigation pane.
The License Configuration page is
displayed.
- Optional:
Enter the number of floating user licenses in the No. of floating
users (Max) field to limit the number of licenses accessed by
users in the team space if you have a shared IBM Common License Key
Server.
Note: The default selection is
Maximum. Hence, the number of licenses is limited
to the total number of licenses that are available in IBM Common License Key
Server.
-
Enter the IP address or FQDN of the license server in the IBM Common License Key
Server field to
configure the licenses for the team space.
Note: You must enter either the IP address or FQDN in the
port_number@<IP_address> or <FQDN>
format. If you did not provide any port number, the default port number is
used for
IBM Common License Key
Server.
For example, the value of IBM Common License Key
Server
can be:
-
27000@licenseserver.com
-
27000@127.0.0.1
