You can spread your license entitlements across one or more USB hardware
devices.
How many USB hardware devices are needed, and how those entitlements are
activated on each device, is dependent upon many factors, such as:
- How many instances you run
- The capabilities of the underlying platforms
- The access of the different users to the different platforms
- The types of license entitlements you use
Consider the following rules when you are planning how to spread
your license entitlements across your USB hardware devices, and how
to later generate your update files:
- Activate a USB hardware device with only one update file.
- You can generate each update file with only one license type.
That update file defines the capability configuration for the device.
- You can combine orders (license entitlements) in one update file,
but only if they are of the same license type
- You can use multiple USB hardware devices in a single Linux environment, such as on a product license server. However, the following restrictions
apply.
- Do not have multiple USB hardware devices where one device is activated for Rational® Tokens and one is not.
- It is unpredictable which USB hardware device is used in obtaining entitlement to run any
particular z Systems Development and Test
Environment instance.
