This task topic describes the procedure for configuring floating licenses for AppScan®
Source.
Procedure
-
From the AppScan
Source License Manager, click
Configure license servers to open the License Server Configuration
dialog box.
-
Specify Use Cloud License Server or Use Local License
Server.
Note: To use the cloud license server, AppScan
Source
must have access to hclsoftware.compliance.flexnetoperations.com
-
Type in hclsoftware for the Hostname, provide
the Server ID and then click OK. Repeat this step
to add multiple license servers.
-
If you need to edit host name or serverID for a previously configured license server,
select the server in the list in the AppScan Source License Manger and click Configure license
servers. This opens the License Server Confirmation dialog box with the Host
name and Server ID fields populated. You can edit these
settings and click OK to save changes.
-
If you add multiple license servers, they are scanned in the order that they appear in the
list in this dialog box. If a valid floating license for an AppScan
Source feature is found, the scan for floating
licenses stops.
Results
If you modify a license server, click Refresh to ensure that License
Manager has access to the current license server information.
When you are finished configuring floating license servers, close the AppScan
Source License Manager to begin using the license or
licenses when you launch the installed product or products.
Note: AppScan
Source floating licenses must be hosted on a
supported version of Rational License Key Server. If they are hosted on a lower level of
Rational License Key Server, they will be visible in AppScan Source License Manager, however
AppScan
Source will fail to use them. To learn which
versions of Rational License Key Server are supported by
AppScan
Source, see
System requirements and installation prerequisites.
For teams that use AppScan Source for
Development,
floating scanning licenses can be released directly from the user
interface, allowing other team members to acquire licenses when they
need them. In local mode,
there is a Release Scanning License action
- whereas, in server mode,
the license is released as part of the Log Out from Server action.
After a license is released, it will automatically be reacquired when
a scan is initiated (if a license is available).
