Once IBM Rational Rose is installed v Rational Rose does not support dual boot systems where both operating systems are on the same partition. v If the online Help for an installed Rose Add-In does not appear on the Contents tab of the Rose online Help, it may be because of an existing .gid file on your system. To remedy this situation, locate the Add-In's .gid file in the rose_release_directory\help\ folder, and delete it. A new, valid .gid file will be created automatically the first time you open the Add-In's compiled Help (.hlp) file. For example, if the Help book for Web Modeler does not appear in the Contents , delete the webmod.gid file. If the errant .gid file was the problem, you will see the Web Modeler Help book on the Contents tab the next time you open the Rose online Help. v The Rose Data Modeler produces models for several database vendors. The vendor databases are listed in the IBM Rational Rose Release Notes. There are no special configuration instructions for Rose Data Modeler. To install and configure the databases, see the vendor documentation. Note: You cannot run two different versions of Rose on the same machine. Upgrading from a previous version If you are upgrading from a previous version of the product, review the upgrade information before you install the current version. If the product was installed as part of Rational Suite®, all Rational products are uninstalled when you install the current version. Although some mixed versions of the Rational products are supported across an enterprise network, all Rational products on a single computer must be the same version. For example, you cannot run Rational RequisitePro version 2003.06.15 with Rational Rose version 7.0. Setting up Rational Common Licensing Setting up Rational Common Licensing, which is powered by FLEXlm, is a key part of the installation process. You must accomplish the following licensing service tasks: v Obtain license keys by using AccountLink, a Web-based tool available from the IBM Rational Licensing and Download center. v Install and configure the IBM Rational License Server. v Configure client desktops to import keys to the Rational License Server. v Maintain and manage the IBM Rational License Server as a single, multiple, or redundant server configuration. These tasks, as well as different types of license keys, are described in the IBM Rational License Management Guide. If you are installing Rational products for the first time, read this guide carefully before beginning installation. 4 IBM Rational Rose: Installation Guide
