Using Rational ClearQuest MultiSite license keys
IBM® Rational®
ClearQuest® MultiSite requires
both a IBM Rational
ClearQuest
license and a Rational
ClearQuest MultiSite license.
Any access to a replicated database requires both a Rational ClearQuest license key and a Rational ClearQuest MultiSite license key. You can calculate the number of Rational ClearQuest MultiSite licenses your site requires by determining how many developers will access replicated databases. If all of your developers will access replicated databases, you must have the same number of Rational ClearQuest MultiSite licenses as Rational ClearQuest licenses. If not all developers will 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 of the developers at site A will access only the
unreplicated database, and the remaining 15 will work in all databases.
All of the developers at site B will access replicated databases.
Therefore, the company must purchase the following number of licenses:
| Site | Number of Rational ClearQuest licenses | Number of Rational ClearQuest MultiSite licenses |
|---|---|---|
| A | 20 | 15 |
| B | 5 | 5 |
Note: This example assumes that you purchase a Rational
ClearQuest license
for each user. If you have fewer Rational
ClearQuest licenses
than users, purchase a proportionate number of Rational
ClearQuest MultiSite licenses.
For example, if site B purchased three Rational
ClearQuest licenses,
they would also purchase three Rational
ClearQuest MultiSite licenses.
