Managing floating client access licenses

You can install and configure floating client access licenses (CALs) through the License Key Management section in the Administration page of the Jazz™ Team Server after you determine which server is the floating license server that has the CAL keys installed and which server is the Jazz Team Server that assigns the floating CALs.

Before you begin

You must be logged in to the Administration page of the Jazz Team Serverand be a member of the JazzAdmins group.

Procedure

  1. Install the floating CAL keys (on the Jazz Server operating as a floating license server):
    1. In the Administration page, click the Server tab.
    2. In the Licensing pane, click License Key Management.
    3. On the License Key Management page, in the Floating License Server area, click Add.
    4. In the Upload License Files dialog, in the Upload License Activation key field, click Browse and navigate to the location of the floating client access license activation key.
    5. Select the key file.
    6. In the Purchased field, enter the number of licenses purchased.
    7. Click Next.
    8. Optional: On the Connect To Floating Licenser Server page, to configure the floating capabilities on this server, select the check box next to Yes, I want to allow users on this server to be able to acquire the floating licenses on this license server.
    9. Click Finish.
  2. Configure other Jazz Team Servers to point to the floating license server:
    1. On the Administration page of the Jazz Team Server, click the Server tab.
    2. In the Licensing pane, click License Key Management.
    3. In the Floating License Server section, hover over a row and click the Configure floating license server icon.
    4. In the Configure Floating License Server dialog box, in the Floating License Server field, type the path to the server. For example, http://floating-license-server:9080/jts, where floating-license-server must be replaced with the fully qualified host name of your server.
    5. To test the server connection, click Test Connection.
    6. Click Finish. The Jazz Team Server is now configured so that floating CALs can be assigned to users. The floating CALs are automatically checked out from the floating license server when users require them.
