Editions

Team Concert is provided in three different editions. Smaller teams can get started using the Express-C edition which supports up to 10 users and provides access for the first three users free of charge.

Note: Refer to Installing IBM Rational Team Concert for instructions on how to install Team Concert Express-C edition and the Team Concert Client, which is an optional component of RAD v7.5.

Larger teams might want to use or upgrade to the Express or Standard editions, which support up to 50 and 250 users. All editions provide integration with Subversion and LDAP authentication, while the Standard edition provides connectors for IBM Rational ClearCase and IBM Rational ClearQuest. Team Concert also integrates with IBM Lotus® Sametime® and Jabber for instant messaging. Refer to http://jazz.net for information about additional planned integrations. For a full description of the features offered by each edition, see Table | 9-1.

Note: The scenarios described in this chapter have been tested with Team Concert Standard Edition, Tomcat, and DB2. Features that are specific to the Standard Edition have been highlighted and most scenarios are applicable to the Express-C edition. The source code management and item tracking features described in this chapter are those of Team Concert itself, so no installation of ClearCase, Subversion or ClearQuest is required to follow the proposed scenarios.
