Configuring a license server for Windows
Configure and use IBM
IBM® Common Licensing on
Windows.
Some of the tasks described in Configuring floating licenses for Windows servers require knowledge of Windows and IBM IBM Common Licensing (powered by FlexNet software).
- Configuring floating licenses for Windows servers
These steps are required to configure floating and named-user floating license keys. - Using floating keys on a Windows license server
Import or enter floating license keys on the IBM IBM Common Licensing. - Using named-user keys on a Windows license server
Named-user license keys act as floating license keys, except during the import process. IBM Rational® License Key Administrator (LKAD) gives you the opportunity to specify a user for each license key. - Starting the Windows license server
After you import or enter the license key, start the IBM IBM Common Licensing. - Combining named-user and floating licenses
You can use the named-user and floating licenses combination to manage licenses. Before you combine the named-user and floating licenses, it is important to understand the rules that FlexNet applies when checking licenses. To use this combination, first test the named-user licenses for a possible checkout before testing a floating license. - Using the LKAD command line on Windows (Optional)
Use the IBM Rational License Key Administrator (LKAD) command line to automate license configuration on clients. - Configuring redundant license servers on Windows
You can configure IBM IBM Common Licensing in a fault-tolerant configuration known as redundant servers. - Specifying the license server on Windows web servers
For some IBM Rational products, the web server is the client of the license server. - Removing IBM Common Licensing from Windows
