Enabling licenses

You must purchase the IBM® Rational® Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) to enable your WebFacing applications for use in a production environment. Without a valid license, you can run up to two concurrent trial sessions of your WebFacing applications.
To fully enable the WebFacing runtime for production in accordance with your licensed proof of entitlement, you must specify your license settings using the License Settings wizard.
Note: You must run the License Settings wizard even for projects whose runtimes were fully enabled in previous versions.

To run the License Settings wizard, follow these steps:

  1. Open the WebFacing perspective.
  2. Right-click anywhere inside the WebFacing Projects view, and select License Settings.
  3. On the Runtime Enablement File panel, use the Browse button to browse for the location of the file.
    1. The name of the file used to fully enable HATS Web, HATS rich client, and WebFacing projects is runtimeenablement71-webrcp.jar. The wizard enables both the HATS and WebFacing runtimes in one step.
    2. You must use the file intended for use with your version of WebFacing. An error message will display if you try to use a file for an older version.
  4. Select the file and click Open.
  5. After setting the location of the runtime enablement file, click Next.
  6. On the License Options panel the types of projects are displayed with an indication whether they will be enabled or not enabled based on the selected runtime enablement file. Select the license option specified by your Proof of Entitlement. Options are Authorized User or Value Unit. If you specify Authorized User, you must also enter the number of licenses purchased.
    • Select Apply to all new projects created in any workspace to fully enable the runtime for all new projects, depending on your type of license, created in any workspace.
    • Select Apply to all existing projects in the current workspace to fully enable the runtime for all projects, depending on your type of license, that exist in the current workspace. If you have existing projects in other workspaces, you must run the License Settings wizard in each of those workspaces.
    Note: The license settings of WebFacing projects in a workspace are checked on startup. If any of the projects do not match the master license settings, you are prompted to update them. To disable checking license settings at startup, select Preferences > WebFacing > HATS/WebFacing and deselect Perform license settings check on workbench startup.
  7. Click Finish.
