You have IBM Rational® ClearCase® versions 7.1 and 7.1.1 and IBM Rational ClearQuest® version 7.1 and 7.1.1 in your environment. You upgrade the IBM Rational License Key Server from version 7.1 to version 8.1.1. Rational ClearCase and Rational ClearQuest remain at version 7.1 or 7.1.1.
In this scenario, you do not need to request new licenses from the IBM Rational License Key Center.
For example, you have five licenses. The first five users to request a license will receive a license. The sixth user to request a license does not receive a license as all five licenses are in use. Purchase new licenses to increase the number of available licenses.
