To use licenses, you install a Rational® Common Licensing server,
import your license keys, and link the IBM UrbanCode™ Deploy servers
or agents to the license server.
Before you begin
Ensure that you have a
Rational Common Licensing server
with licenses for
IBM UrbanCode Deploy.
About this task
For information about the types of licenses, see
License scenarios.
Procedure
- On the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server,
click .
- On the System Settings page, under Licensing,
specify the connection information for the license server and click
Save. You can specify the
port and host name or IP address for the license server, such as
27000@RCLServer.example.com. To avoid problems when a license server is not
available, you can specify multiple license servers. In this case, separate each address with colons
on Linux and UNIX or
semicolons on Windows, as in the following example:
27000@RCLServer.example.com;27000@backupRCLServer.example.com. For more complicated
license server scenarios, see this document: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSSTWP_8.1.4/com.ibm.rational.license.doc/topics/r_specify_lic_servers.html. For more information about setting up a Rational Common Licensing
server and applying licenses, see the Rational Common
Licensing help: Rational Common Licensing
v8.1.4 - 8.1.4.9 documentation For more
information about licensing, see License management. The Server License Type field shows the type of licensing that
the server is using.
- If you are using virtual server and managed virtual server (Server Agent) licensing,
specify whether to assign licenses to the agents automatically or manually. These steps
are not necessary for the other types of licensing.
- To assign licenses to agents automatically, set Automatic Agent
Licensing to On and then click
Save. This setting is meaningful only if you are using virtual
server and managed virtual server (Server Agent) licensing.
- To assign licenses to agents manually, follow these steps:
- Click .
- Next to an agent, click Actions and then click
License. This menu item is available only if the Server License Type
field is set to Server Agent and Automatic Agent
Licensing is set to Off.
- In the Confirmation window, click
OK. The License column for the agent shows
AUTHORIZED and the agent is licensed.
If you are using a license scenario other than virtual server and managed virtual
server (Server Agent) licensing, the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server assigns licenses to agents automatically. If you are using token licenses or
floating licenses, the server attempts to retrieve the necessary license or licenses from
the license servers that are available to the IBM UrbanCode Deploy server.Note: If you provision cloud environments by using the blueprint designer and
use virtual server and managed virtual server (Server Agent) licensing, configure the
server to assign licenses to agents automatically.
- Restart the IBM UrbanCode Deploy
server. You must restart the server for it to recognize the new type of license.
Results
Now you can run processes on the licensed servers and agents.
