A Rational® ClearCase® license key consists of a single line of text, which defines a certain number of licenses. Most licenses are tied to a specific license server host and cannot be moved to any other host without first following the procedures outlined in Moving licenses to another host. If the vendor field is TEMPORARY, you can move the license to any license server host.
The license file can contain any number of –license lines. All the lines are combined into a single license; the maximum numbers accumulate to determine the total number of license slots.
The license file can contain any number of –user lines, each of which specifies one or more users (by name or by numeric ID). These lines are concatenated into a single license priority list. The first user on the list has the highest priority; each successive user has a lower priority. Users who are not on the list can use the products, but they share the lowest priority.
The license file can contain any number of –nuser lines, each of which specifies one or more users (by name or by numeric ID). The specified users cannot obtain a license and thus cannot use the product.
The –user and –nuser lines can be intermixed. If a user is named in both kinds of line, the first entry is used.
By default, a Rational ClearCase license granted to a user expires after 60 minutes of inactivity (60 minutes in which the user does not run a cleartool command or Rational ClearCase GUI). A –timeout line changes the expiration interval to the specified number of minutes. The minimum interval is 30 minutes; there is no maximum interval.
