Mobile banking will bethe most widely used banking
channel by 2020, if not sooner
Today, electronics drive about 80% of the automotive
industry’s functional innovation, and software is the key to most of it

Licensing Challenges affect Software Delivery Flexibility
Inflexible licensing schemes can lead to loss of productivity
– Not enough licenses may be available during heavy usage periods
• For example: during large performance tests, too few licenses may result in poor test coverage.
– No way to move licenses from product to product as needs change during a project
• Resulting in licenses being temporarily unused for parts of the project – not driving value.
Time to Market increased due to license issues
– Installation of new software typically depends on license availability – if there are no licenses, software is not installed.
– New License acquisition takes time
Budgetary availability and timing concerns may delay license purchases

Advantages of Flexible licensing
Multiple licensing options to your development teams
Identify the best license fit for a given task or project
– Some users may require fixed, permanent license for certain products
• Example: A Developer requiring permanent access to Rational Application Developer
– Other products may be used infrequently, and do not require permanent licenses
• Example: Performance testing may only be done once per iteration
– The usage of licenses may change over time on a project
• Example: Initially, there may be more licenses required for Requirements Management solutions, whereas towards the end of a project, more Functional Testing licenses may be required
Easily trial new software
– New Purchase Orders are not required for software included in flexible licensing schemes – provides a seamless platform to introduce new technologies

License types: Perpetual Licenses
A One Time Charge (OTC) or “perpetual” license grants the use of the specific version / release of the software obtained indefinitely, as long as the customer complies with the terms of the license agreement.
– An authorized user license is a type of OTC license that is associated with a single product. An Authorized User is a unique person who is given access to the product. The product may be installed on any number of computers or servers and each Authorized User may have simultaneous access to any number of instances of the program at one time.
– A floating user license is a type of OTC license, associated with a single product, but which can be shared among multiple team members,but the total number of concurrent users must not exceed the number of licenses.

License types: Fixed Term Licenses
A Term License (or Fixed Term License, or FTL) grants the use of the software over a limited time period, or term (typically 12 months) as long as the customer complies with the terms of the license agreement.
– Term Licenses can be of either the Authorized user or Floating User type.
Token Licenses are a form of fixed term license that allow the mixing of different products in real time.
– Token Licenses are Floating User license types.

What is a Token License?
A “Token” is a base unit of license value
Tokens can be exchanged for the right to use specific Rational software
Token Term is normally 3 to 5 years
A software application requires 1, 2 or more tokens to run
There is no restriction on which entitled application can be installed or used on a given machine
There is no limit on the number of entitled applications that can be run concurrently, or on which machines they can run, up to the total number of tokens purchased

Teams use any mix of specific products after purchase from Token Pool
Token license agreements allow organizations to “rent” licensesfor a given period of time with no entitlement rights at end of term
Token licenses can float across users and across products
A token constitutes a unit of value which can be repeatedly exchanged via server for a mix of software licenses - Essentially unlimited substitution
How does token licensing work?Licensing resilient to changing budgetary and user needs
Organization purchases product specific tokensbased on projected product usage = Token Pool 21
Rational Team Concert= 7 tokens
Rational DOORS= 10 tokens
Rational System Architect= 9 tokens

Organization purchases new tokens and maintains active Subscription and Support (S&S) on a set of “inactive” OTC Rational products in exchange for a fair market value enhancement of additional tokens on the OTC products
Teams use any mix of specific products after purchase from Token Pool
Leverage your current Rational investmentToken licensing flexibility enhancement from OTC products
Token Flexibility Enhancement is an additional token agreement, executed by Passport Advantage site, where “OTC” (perpetual) licenses become inactive for a fixed period of time and enhanced to tokens
OTC licenses that are inactive contractually must remain under active S&S. Customer offered “flexibility” pricing leveraging active S&S costs
At end of term, customer may begin using OTC licensing again, initiate another token term.

Token Licensing provides an added layer of flexibility
Flexible use of Rational solutions
– Use the right tool at the right time during the lifecycle of a development project
Streamline License Management
– Help eliminate the concept of temporarily “unused” software as the project moves from one development phase to the next
Simplify License Purchasing
– Allow customer access to specialty software during the project, without the hassle of a new PO or evaluation process
Address Budgetary Concerns
– Replaces a less predictable spending model that has large spikes with a uniform spending model with incremental increases as needed

Summary
Flexible Licensing allows software delivery teams to maintain productivity and reduce time to market
IBM Rational provides innovative licensing approaches to help your software delivery teams succeed, including new token licensing
Investment in a token strategy can provide optimal use of Rational solutions based on an organization’s development lifecycle
Practitioners can utilize the right Rational tool at the right time during the development lifecycle
Rational tokens allow great flexibility in configuration: allow for current product use as well as factoring additional tools that might be needed later in the lifecycle.
Many Rational solutions can leverage token licensing today.
