Steps for installing the license server.
If you would like to install the license server from a release
area or set up a silent installation, see the instructions in the installation
guide for your IBM Rational® product. The
Setup wizard guides you through the software installation. Click Next to
launch the installation and to advance through the following screens.
The
installation wizard does not display an error summary. To verify that an installation
was successful or to understand why it failed, look in the installation activities
log. The install.log file is in your TEMP directory (for example, TEMP=C:\DOCUME~1\<username>\LOCALS~1\Temp or C:\temp\install.log). The location
of the directory depends on the system environment variable set on the computer.
Attention: Interrupting an installation that is in progress
may leave your computer in an indeterminate state. If you try to close the
Setup wizard window while the installation is in progress, you are asked to
confirm that you want to exit from the incomplete installation.
To
install the license server from a CD image:
- Log in as a user with administrator rights on the computer on which you
want to install the product.
- Insert the product installation CD into the computer’s CD drive.
The
Setup wizard starts automatically.
If autorun is disabled on your
computer, click Start > Run and
enter
cd_drive:\Setup.exe where cd_drive is
the letter of the CD drive.
- The Product Selection page lists all products available
for installation. Select the Rational License
Server.
- The Deployment Method page displays the Enterprise
Deployment and Desktop Install from CD Image options.
Select the Desktop Install from CD Image option.
- Choose to accept or not to accept the IBM Rational software license
agreement in the License Agreement page. To view the
Open Source license agreement, select the check box View Open Source
Agreement.
- If you accept the license agreement, the installation wizard continues.
- If you do not accept the license agreement, exit the Setup wizard by clicking Cancel and
then Finish. When you exit from the wizard, the Setup
wizard makes no visible changes to your computer.
- The Destination Folder page specifies the directory
where you want to install the Rational License
Server software. Click Change to modify the location.
Reminder: The installation wizard requires that all Rational products
be installed in the same directory.
- Click Install on the Ready to Install
the Program dialog to begin the installation.
- A Restart Windows® page opens if the Setup wizard
needs to restart your computer. The Setup wizard may need to restart your
computer if files required for the installation are in use during the Setup
program or if the program needs to install shared components on your computer.
Select Restart or Don’t Restart.
If you select Don’t Restart, the wizard reminds you
that the installation cannot complete until Windows restarts.
After Windows restarts,
log on as the same user. If you do not, the installation does not complete
correctly. The second part of the installation process starts automatically
after you log on.
- When the Setup wizard Completed window opens, we
recommend that you select the Show me the readme file option
to review the current information related to features and known issues. In
addition, you can select Take me to IBM developerWorks®.
Click Finish to complete the installation.
Reminder: Install
the floating license keys on the license server before you start the license
server. See Using floating keys on a Windows license server.
