If you are using the ClearCase® licensing model (called the Atria licensing
model), create a license database file on each host that you have selected
to be a license server host. This file must contain the license authorization code obtained from
IBM®.
About this task
You can skip this procedure if either of the following conditions are true:
- You are upgrading from a previous DevOps Code ClearCase release, unless you have purchased
additional licenses or want to change the license server host.
- You are using the IBM Common
Licensing model, instead of the ClearCase licensing
model. (For details, see Manage licensing for DevOps Code ClearCase.)
Procedure
- To understand ClearCase licensing
model options, read the following documentation:
- The Licensing and license administration section of DevOps Code ClearCase
Administrator's Guide
- The clearlicense reference page in DevOps Code ClearCase Command Reference
-
Open your license database file (/var/adm/devops/clearcase/license.db) in a text
editor.
For
example:
# vi /var/adm/devops/clearcase/license.db
-
Enter the license authorization code as a line of text beginning with
–license, exactly as it appears on the form provided by IBM (or its designee).
All lines in the license.db file must be terminated with a new line
character.
- (Optional) After the –license line,
enter one or more –user lines to specify users'
license priorities, in order of priority.
For example:
-user susan (highest priority)
-user jo (next highest priority)
Note: This
step can be performed later.
- Use the clearlicense command
to verify that all DevOps Code ClearCase products
have been properly licensed.
