Moving licenses to another host
If a license database contains more than one set of licenses (that is, more than one license line), you can move some sets and not move others.
About this task
Note: For classic ClearCase®
(Atria) licensing, the following step 1 procedure is not required if you are changing the
name of a license server host. Follow the step 1 procedure if the license host ID (as
reported by clearlicense
–hostid or lmutil lmhostid) changes for any reason. Common
reasons for these changes include moving the license server host function to a new computer
or replacing the network interface hardware of an existing license server host. If the host
name of an IBM® License Key Server
is changed, reissuing of the licenses is not required, but the server’s license file needs
to be updated to reflect the change in host name.
Procedure
-
Move and generate the licenses.
- To move licenses to a new server, see technote 100633.
- To generate license keys for Rational Products from the IBM License Key Center website, see technote 210789.
- If you are moving licenses to a host that is already a license server host, follow the procedure in Adding licenses to a license server host.
- If you are moving licenses to a new license server host, follow the procedure in Setting up additional license server hosts.
- Reconfigure the clients to use the new license server, see Specifying a license server host.
