Hi Claire,

What I find hard to exlain to management is why a floating write licence is 
consumed by someone who does not need a write licence. The users only need a 
read access to see what calls they have assigned to them but yet a floating 
write license is 'reserved'.

The way it was explained to us by both sales before we purchased ITSM and on 
site BMC consultant was that a floating licence would only be used when the 
user accesses the application to make changes. They also failed to point out 
that it takes an hour for that licence to become free again.  But then thats 
sales people for ya.

We now have a user base who mainly deal with Incidents but have a few changes 
that they have to work on.  They use the Overvierw Console to see what is 
currently assigned to them. What happens is that the few floating licences we 
have are taken by the first people to logon in the morning and there are none 
free for those who actually need to make changes.

Tony
