The ClearCase product line uses a proprietary licensing technology while the majority of the Rational products line uses a common license manager powered by FLEXlm, the industry leading license manager developed by Macrovision, Corp. The “classic” ClearCase license manager will manage only ClearCase and ClearCase MultiSite keys. Rational ClearCase v7.0 will give you the option of using FLEXlm license keys instead of the classic ClearCase keys. Using the FLEXlm ClearCase keys will allow you to put your ClearCase keys on the same license server as your other Rational FLEXlm-based keys like ClearQuest or Rational Suite.
