Error description
When IBM Rational License Key Server (RLKS) v8.1.1/v8.1.2 is installed on a Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 2003 machine with IP v6 installed, but disabled, it appears that RLKS v8.1.1 is configured to use IP v6. This is corresponding to the current Flexlm limitation which is that Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server do not support Dual Mode addressing due to limited Dual Networking Stack support on these operating systems. However, IBM Rational License InfoCenter description is misleading and gives the impression that IP v6 'enabled' will make IP v6 work. 'For IPv6, the IPv6 stack must be enabled on Windows before you install the Rational License Key Server: 'http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rational/v0r0m0/index. jsp?topic=/com.ibm.rational.license.doc/topics/t_default_install _path.htm

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Description of IPv6 module License Key Server installation is misleading in InfoCenter.
Problem conclusion
The documentation has now been rectified to: For IPv6, the IPv6 stack must be enabled on Windows before you install the Rational License Key Server. At the same time, on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 operating systems, the IPv4 based license server can be contacted by IPv4 FlexEnabled clients only if IPv6 stack has been un-installed before installing the license server.
