What does “returning” license keys mean and how does it work?
The “View and return keys” feature will show you the license keys you currently have generated and gives you the opportunity to “return” them to your License Key Center account, making them available again. The act of returning the key tells IBM that you will no longer use the key. Once the key is returned, it becomes available again for you to generate for another host. For example, let’s say you bought 100 ClearQuest licenses and have generated a floating license key for all 100 licenses for server A. Now suppose you need to replace server A with server B, and therefore you need to move your ClearQuest key to server B. To do this, select “View and return keys” from the left-hand menu and select the ClearQuest license key. On the next screen locate the ClearQuest license key generated for Server A and select the “Return” button. Selecting this will make all 100 ClearQuest keys available again. Next, you should update your license key files on host A. You can then generate a new ClearQ
