Well - I see the case that as soon as you are logged in with a float - you suck a license - even if you have not done something. (7.01) (At least you suck a license according to the error message provided - no licenses available) If I change the person to a read only - they dont get the error message - and they continue on just fine.
I am wondering if 7.1 will log a license as taken (in the above case) -- even if I had licenses avail -- because in my opinion I have not used one - I should not be logged as using one either. To the point that although BMC will be trusting you to monitor your license usage - I am claiming that the logged values are incorrect (assuming same current logic as 7.0). Therefore not provable either way -- which is going to be trouble (my opinion). Companies may be logging way greater use of floats than is real. So - I think the license logging idea in 7.1 is great -- however - I think it should only log if you actually NEED a license (modify a separate ticket). Can somebody from BMC validate that the above case is the logging logic? Or am I wrong? -John On 8/10/07, Shellman, David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ** Based on past history, this would be incorrect.
