On the common licensing configuration page, if you are using
floating or token licenses, type the TCP/IP port number and host name of the license servers to use
to configure licensing on the workbench computer. Separate the port number and host name 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
