Impact of restarting the License Key Administrator Tool

When you import license keys (license.dat) using the License Key Administrator the last thing it says is "Would you like to stop and start the server now ?"

If I have a number of users who are using RTC at the time what happens to them ?

Will their RTC Eclipse client sessions be terminated or will they be able to carry on working blissfully unaware of the license update ?

Thanks

It's hard to say from the way the question is phrased and without any screenshots.  However, if you are talking about the license import operation mentioned in this wiki: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/RLKSAdminToolUsage
it is possible that the message is referring to the License server.

Thanks Rosa, that other forum does look like a better place to post my question.

To try and clarify my original post about my new "license.dat" file:
I have a number of people using RTC Eclipse client. Each of these sessions use 8 IBM Rational License Floating Tokens.
The current licenses expire in a few months time so I have bought some new ones.
When I import my new license keys I will have to restart the License Key Server.

What effect, if any, will restarting the License Key Server have on these users ?
e.g. will their RTC Eclipse sessions stop working ?

I am just trying to work out the best time to apply my new licences.

Thanks
