setting ibm rational license server port

The license file specifies your license servers, vendor daemons, and product licenses. The lmgrd daemon does not process requests on its own, but forwards requests to the appropriate vendor daemon. The same license daemon is used by all licensed products from all vendors that use FLEXlm. If you have other products from other vendors that also use FLEXlm, they will include their own vendor daemons.

The rational daemon is used for all of Rational's licensed products.

A vendor daemon named rational that dispenses Rational Suite licenses.

The license manager includes the following components: Rational Suite uses the Flexible License Manager (FLEXlm TM), version 7.0f, from Globetrotter Software, Inc. After 30 minutes has elapsed, the license is returned and made available to other users. Rational ClearCase LT uses a linger feature that requires a user to claim a license in increments of 30 minutes. Note: Rational ClearCase LT licenses are managed differently from other point products. If a Suite license is unavailable, you are unable to use any of the products in the Suite until a license is returned by another user. When you exit the last program in the Suite, your license is returned to the license manager and is made available for another user. You retain the license as long as you keep using any of the products. If a license is available, the license manager gives you a Suite license, which allows you to run any of the point products included in the Suite. When you start any Rational Suite point product, you are initially unlicensed. The license manager monitors license access, simultaneous usage, idle time, and so on. Licenses are managed by a license manager (FLEXlm TM software delivered as part of Rational Suite) that runs on a license server.
