Based on details in the update file that is applied to the USB hardware device, the
device is configured to make z Systems Development and Test
Environment capable of operating within only one of the following parameters:
- Parallel Sysplex® support is not enabled and
you are not required to use Rational® Tokens.
- Parallel Sysplex support is enabled and you
are not required to use Rational Tokens.
- Parallel Sysplex support is not enabled and
Rational Tokens are required.
- Parallel Sysplex support is enabled and Rational Tokens are required.
Although the hardware device itself permits the application of more than one update file, it is
best to avoid mixing Sysplex and Non-Sysplex update files on the same USB hardware device. Mixing
the update files can make it difficult to manage and track the deployment of license entitlements
and potentially separate expiration dates for each update file that is applied to the device.
Because of these concerns, the Rational License Key
Center does not generate multiple update files for the same USB hardware device.
