Ever since the 5.something days, we do not require that you have a write license if you are doing Change Approvals, SRM Approvals (once SRM came out), or Purchase Req approvals (basically, if BMC provides the approval process as part of the app, you don’t need a write license). If you add approval processes to any BMC apps or if you create approval processes for custom apps, those do require a write license.
If this is not working for you, please enter a support ticket so they can follow up on it.

Apparently, it seems that this never even worked for change approvers. All users that are able to approve, have an AR floating license, so there is no problem. I might have been under the impression that it worked with no license, but It doesn’t seem to be true. Change approvers need AR license of Fixed or Float in addition to Change Approval Functional Role. Moe.

By customizing such workflow, be aware that you're violating your license contract with BMC. You'd better assign fixed or floating licenses to these managers. Actually, this is strange, since Change Approvers should not need a license AFAIK. You may want to work that out with BMC Support.

The issue is, not all managers have licenses. We had the same requirement for Change Management and we did some customizations to the AP forms to allow anyone to approve with no license. We did the same customizations for SRM, but for some reason, it does not work. We got it to work on our Dev environment which is one instance only. However for QA and Prod, which are server group, the customization does not work. I am wondering if anyone has done something similar to this and can shed some light if possible.
