Change to search order for license keys

If you have a previous release of DevOps Suite and you are upgrading from Rational® ClearQuest® version 7.0.x to version 8.0.1 on Windows™, update the license key search order in the DevOps License Key Administrator (LKAD).

If you have a license for a previous release of Rational® Suite, that license is valid in the current release, but the search order for the license key has changed in the DevOps License Key Administrator (LKAD) application.

In earlier releases, when a product from DevOps Suite was installed, the DevOps License Key Administrator (LKAD) application tried to find a license key that corresponded to DevOps Suite. If such a key was not available, LKAD searched for a key that corresponded to the product itself.

In version 7.1 and later, LKAD looks for the product-specific license key first. You can still use the License Usage Mapper in LKAD to change this search order or have the application not search for a DevOps Suite key.

For more information about changing the search order for license keys, see Understanding license usage order in the DevOps Common Licensing Information Center.
