Token licensing requirements for IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation System Pattern

If we use token licensing to license IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation, we must install IBM® Rational® License Key Server and configure with your licenses before you deploy the MobileFirst Platform Pattern.

Important: The MobileFirst Platform (WAS ND) pattern template does not support token licensing. You must be using perpetual licensing when you deploy patterns based on the MobileFirst Platform (WAS ND) pattern template. All other pattern templates support token licensing.

Your IBM Rational License Key Server must be external to our PureApplication® System. MobileFirst Platform Pattern do not support the PureApplication System shared service for IBM Rational License Key Server.

In addition, we must know the following information about your Rational License Key Server to add the license key server information to our pattern attributes:

• Fully qualified host name or IP address of your Rational License Key Server
• License manager daemon (lmgrd) port
• Vendor daemon (ibmratl) port

If you have a firewall between your Rational License Key Server and your PureApplication System, ensure that both daemon ports are open in your firewall.

The deployment of MobileFirst Platform Pattern fails if the license key server cannot be contacted or if insufficient license tokens are available.

For details about installing and configuring Rational License Key Server, see IBM Support - Rational licensing start page.
