Using license keys for products built on the Eclipse platform

Floating license are supported for IBM® Rational® ClearCase® and IBM Rational ClearQuest®. These products include support for a subset of IBM Rational Common Licensing (powered by FLEXlm software) that enables administrators to manage and enforce licensing across the enterprise.

Floating license enforcement is an optional licensing feature for Rational ClearCase and Rational ClearQuest. You can choose to purchase an Authorized User license and download the product activation kit which contains a permanent license key. The permanent license key is not provided or managed through Rational Common Licensing. At any time, you can switch between implementation of an activation kit or floating license support using the IBM Rational product installation and license management utility, IBM Installation Manager for the Rational Software Delivery Platform.
