Thank you Jiri, How does the licensing true up at the end of the year with BMC work? I heard that with 7.1 you have to send BMC your license file for them to review it, and if you use more than you own they charge you for it. Is this true?
Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jiri Pospisil Sent: Monday, September 29, 2008 9:33 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Advice: Need Ratio of AR Floating Licenses to Service Desk Floating Licenses ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please Read The Disclaimer At The Bottom Of This Email ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ John, one thing to consider is the fact that the application floating license is allocated to the user not when they update an entry in the given application, but when they access a form that belongs to the application, i.e. the incident management floating license token gets allocated to the users when they open the Incident Management console and stays with them for at least an hour or until they log off the Remedy client (this is what we observed on our 7.0.1 system). I have just had a quick look in our user log file and I think the usage ration between the Remedy floating and Incident management floating licenses is about 1:2. This is mostly due to the fact that we heavily use the work order module which does not require application license, only Remedy one. If your users will be mostly (or only) using the Incident management system, you may even need to go with ratio closer to 1:1.

Can someone tell me what the ratio of AR System Floating licenses to Service Desk Floating Licenses you have with your system? I know that Application floating licenses are only grabbed from the user pool when a record is updated or submitted to the database which is a split second thing, in that case lets say for example I have 100 AR System Floating Licenses and I own service desk and my user base is 24 hours and not all users will use the system during peak hours how many Service Desk Floating licenses should I purchase? 1:3 or 1:4 or would a higher ratio be better? Thanks. ________________________________________________________________________ _______ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are" ************************************************************************ ************************* This email is intended for the named recipient(s) only.
