Clearcase license movement

How can I make clearcase windows client to fetch license from other server then the current one?

Till now I'm using license from our local server (say ABC) but now I want to get the license from a central server (say XYZ). Clearcase server is installed on ABC and all the vobs are also located on ABC. I only want to discontinue getting the license from ABC and get it from XYZ. How should I proceed?

Solution

You can check the technotes:

"About moving ClearCase servers" for old ClearCase 2003-7.0
Specifying a license host for more recent ClearCase 7.1+-8.x

You can specify the server XYZ in the following file/control panel:

On Linux and the UNIX system, the license server host name is stored in the file /var/adm/rational/clearcase/config/license_host. You can edit this file with any text editor to specify the name of a new license server host.

On Windows, the license server host name is specified on the Licensing page of the ClearCase program in Control Panel as the value Use license server on host:.

That supposes:

you are using the Flexlm license service (and not the legacy Atria one)
you already have set up the XYZ license server.
