24.3 Moving Licenses to Another Host

This section presents a procedure for moving a set of licenses to another host. Note the following:

• If a license database contains more than one set of licenses (that is, more than one license line), you can move some sets and not move others.

• This procedure is not required if you merely change the hostname of a license server host. It is only required if the license hostid (as reported by clearlicense -hostid) changes for any reason. Common reasons include moving the license server host function to a new computer or replacing the network interface card of an existing host.

To move licenses to another host:

1. Complete the Request to MOVE ClearCase Product Family Licenses form. A copy of this form appears at the back of the Installation Guide for Rational ClearCase and ClearCase MultiSite. Fax the form to Rational and wait for a return fax that lists your replacement license authorization codes.

2. Move the licenses. If you are moving licenses to a host that is already a license server host, follow the procedure in Adding New Licenses to an Existing License Server Host. If you are moving licenses to a host that is already a license server host, follow the procedure in Setting Up Additional License Server Hosts.
