Rational ClearQuest MultiSite licensing

Rational® ClearQuest® MultiSite requires a license for both Rational ClearQuest and Rational ClearQuest MultiSite. Any access to a replicated database also requires both licenses.

You can calculate the number of Rational ClearQuest MultiSite licenses your site needs by determining how many developers will access replicated databases. If all developers will access replicated databases, you need the same number of Rational ClearQuest MultiSite licenses and Rational ClearQuest licenses. If some developers will not access replicated databases, you can purchase fewer Rational ClearQuest MultiSite licenses.

For example, a company has two sites, with 20 developers at site A and 5 developers at site B. The company has three databases at site A; two of them will be replicated to site B and one will not be replicated. Five developers at site A will access only the unreplicated database, and the remaining 15 developers will work in all databases. All of the developers at site B will access replicated databases. Therefore, the company needs to purchase the following numbers of licenses:

Site	Number of Rational ClearQuest Licenses	Number of Rational ClearQuest MultiSite Licenses
A	20	15
B	5	5

This example assumes that you purchase a Rational ClearQuest license for each user. If you have fewer Rational ClearQuest licenses than users, you can purchase a proportional number of Rational ClearQuest MultiSite licenses. For example, if site B purchased three Rational ClearQuest licenses, it would also purchase three Rational ClearQuest MultiSite licenses.
