Re: RDi license management server

All you need is the license activation kit downloaded via Passport or ESS(?)

Should be named
RD_for_i_9.5_RPGCOBOLTools_AU_Lic_Act_Kit.zip

Inside that zip is a file:
com.ibm.rational.developer.ibmi.rpgcobol.v95.pek.jar

Ah, I guess that makes sense. I would be surprised if they had floating
licences. I was told by the person who controls this that they need to set
up a server to manage the licences; I suppose he could be wrong about that
need. There are only five i developers here and we all work the same
hours. I can't speak for the others, but I wouldn't put up with not being
able to use RDi due to not being able to snag one of the floating licenses.

At this point, I'll have to wait until next week to find out, as the
"keeper of the keys" is now on vacation.

You only need the license server if you bought the more expensive

floating

licenses...

If you bought the $900 (?) named user licenses, you don't need it.

If you have 5 developers and your bought 5 liceses, I'd expect them to be
named user.

If you have 5 developers and you bought 3 licenses to share then you'd

have

to have floating licenses and the license server.

Are you sure you need the server?

Our shop has an RDi license for all of the developers. I'm told that
someone needs to set up a server for license management.

Everyone but me has blown through the trial and my trial expires in 3
weeks. I'm new at this client that I have no clout to ask that the

server

be set up. The one person who knows how to do it is absolutely swamped

and

working crazy hours, so the server is way down on the priority list.

Is there a way to apply the license to an RDi client without the need

to

set up a license management server?
