Specifying a license server host

Each DevOps Code ClearCase® host must be configured to obtain licenses from a specific license server host. This configuration typically occurs during installation, and is often taken from a site default specified by the DevOps Code ClearCase administrator.

• On Linux and the UNIX system, the license server host name is stored in the file /var/adm/clearcase/config/license_host. You can edit this file with any text editor to specify the name of a new license server host.
• On Windows, the license server host name is specified on the Licensing page of the ClearCase program in Control Panel as the value Use license server on host:.
• You can also use the DevOps Code ClearCase Administration Console to change the license server used by any DevOps Code ClearCase host in your network:
  1. Go to the host node for the host whose license server you want to change. This can be the My Host node or a subnode of the ClearCase Network node in DevOps Code ClearCase Administration Console, or the top-level node in ClearCase Host Administration.
  2. Click Action > Properties. This command opens a window in which you can change the host’s license server. To change the license server for a remote host, the host must be configured to allow remote administration, and you must be a privileged user.
