Future plans include developing the tool’s capacity to report against CLM Authorized Users, extending the reporting capabilities of the tool to other IBM Rational products that use Jazz Team Server, and eventually making CLM license usage available by user role. The 8.1.4 version of the tool provides these reports: Peak Usage, User Based, Chargeback, and Token Distribution. The 8.1.4 version of the tool, which was released in August 2013, does not report on CLM Authorized Users, and it does not differentiate between the different CLM role-based licenses: Analyst, Contributor, Developer, Quality Professional, and Stakeholder. The tool does not track license usage for Atria licenses and node-locked licenses.

The tool supports reporting on both floating and token license models. The Rational License Key Server Administration and Reporting Tool tracks and reports license usage for IBM Rational products that are served by the FLEXlm Rational Key License Server and the Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) License Server. The Rational License Key Server Administration and Reporting Tool provides out-of-the-box license usage reports and capability to download your license usage data into more customizable formats.
