IBM Rational® products request licenses in a specific order. If you have a combination of node-locked and floating license keys in your environment, you might want to change the order.
An IBM product that uses Rational Common Licensing (powered by FLEXlm software) requests licenses in this order, by default:
To change the order on your client, use the License Usage Mapper in the License Key Administrator (LKAD). To change the order for web clients, use the License Usage Mapper on the web server.
The license usage order that you set on your computer is tied to your user ID. If different users log in to your computer with their own user IDs, the license usage order resets to the default order. The new users can set the license usage order for their user IDs. Their settings do not affect your settings.
The IBM Rational license server does not change license usage order for all clients and all users.
