Ben Cantatore Remedy Manager (914) 457-6209 Emerging Health IT 3 Odell Plaza Yonkers, New York 10701 >>> david_eas...@bmc.com 07/07/11 1:01 PM >>> ** Ø extra credit to the first person who can correctly identify what actual Remedy keys should be applied to the AR Server when purchasing "Service Mgt Specialist" license Well, since AR System 7.1.00, there are no longer license keys for users, applications or modules - so it is a trick question and the answer is "none". However, if you meant "licenses", then there are two business licenses associated with the Service Management Specialist: 1. AR System User 2. SRM Analyst / Admin Since SRM uses the AR System user for its license checks (i.e. there is no SRM application user license technically within the system), the Service Management Specialist would enable the entering of an additional count in the AR System User fixed/floating row while in the Add/Remove License console. The number would be a one-to-one correlation of the number of SM Specialist licenses purchased... so if you bought 5, you would enter (or add) 5 to the count of the AR System User license row. -David J.

Does it contain the words "Service","Management", or "Automation" (if no, try again) 2.) Can it be represented in a 3-5 letter acronym that is earily similar to everything else we sell? 3.) Has it been renamed in the last 6 months (if no, rename immediately. This applies to existing product portfolio as well) 4.) Is it completely unrelated to the legacy name that is well known in the marketplace (if no, try for something more ambiguous) 5.) Have we shoe-horned the inherent licensing key structure into the BMC Blue pricing model making it impossible for any rational person to figure out how to apply the correct license keys per their purchased license names? (extra credit to the first person who can correctly identify what actual Remedy keys should be applied to the AR Server when purchasing "Service Mgt Specialist" license) 6.) Will the new name look good on the BSM Marketing diagram? 7.) Can we put "cloud" or "on demand" in the name to capitalize on industry marketing trends and buzz? 8.) Will the resulting acronym look like something my 3 year old randomly pounded out on the keyboard?
