  7. On the common licensing configuration page, if you are using floating or token licenses, type the TCP/IP port number and hostname of the license servers to use to configure licensing on the workbench computer. Separate the port number and hostname with the at sign (@). Separate the port-host pairs with semicolons (;). To use the default port, omit the port number. If you do not know the port numbers and names of license servers to use, you can configure the license servers after installation by using Rational® License Key Administrator.
    For example, to configure three license servers that are named license1, license2, and license3 to use port 27000, the default port, and port 1765, respectively, enter this text:

    27000@license1;@license2;1765@license3
