It should be a "Floating - Read" rather than a straight "Read", but still should not take up a write license. It should only go to "Floating" from "Floating - Read" if they double click on go into modify or submit mode. Write license will only be released after your designated timeout period for the write license.

I thought I knew the answer to this, but apparently I did not. BMC prof services told us that a user who is assigned a floating license will only be assigned a floating token when they MODIFY a record, after login, until that point they are only assigned a Read APPLICATION license. Ex. Users are setting their own Application Preference records from the INC Mgmt console per our direction so that "Show Problem" = Yes on the Overview Console. This query invokes the floating ITSM Problem Floating license that we were told would not happen and pushes our floating licenses for Problem through the roof and way out of compliance. I thought that the user would log on, receive a read license, and that simply having your Application Preference set to "Show Problem" would not invoke the Floating Problem License as it is simply running a query. Am I crazy? :-) I've dug around on the BMC support site for the official documentation, but I can't find it. If anyone can point me to that URL or share a license doc, I will buy you beers at the RUG. :-) Thanks in Advance to All, Jase Brandon _attend WWRUG12 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ <font face="monospace"size="-3"><br>The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and <br>may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
