Set up floating or token license

How to load a floating or token license for use with AppScan® Standard Edition.

About this task

In order to install a floating or token license you must first have a license key server with IBM Rational® License Key Server (version 8.1.2 or later) installed on it. The license key server can be a different machine, or the same machine that AppScan is installed on. The procedure below describes setting up the server and then loading a floating license.

Procedure

  1. Download IBM Rational License Key Server (version 8.1.2 or later) from Passport Advantage.
  2. Install the License Key Server. This can be on the same computer as AppScan, or on your central network license server.
  3. Download your license files from Rational License Key Center, and save them to the machine on which you installed Rational License Key Server.
  4. Click Start > Programs > IBM Rational > License Key Administrator (version), and use the Import a Rational license file wizard to import the license file to the license key server.
  5. In AppScan, click Help > License > Open AppScan Standard License Manager.
  6. Click License Configuration.
  7. Above the lower pane (License servers), click the plus icon
  8. In the dialog box that opens, enter the Host and Port for the license.
  9. (Optional:) If you add more than one license server, you can use the Up/Down Arrow buttons to promote/demote servers in the list.
  10. In the AppScan license dialog box, click the Refresh icon to load your license.
