Re: AR User Floating licenses converting to Read (UNCLASSIFIED)
If the server is validly licensed, what about External Authentication? Do you have "Authenticate Unregistered User" checked? Or even "Allow Guest Users" I think it is a long shot that all of your users would have started using the different case usernames then they usually use. This sounds like a symptom of people authenticating not using the exact case as their login name in the User record. In the case of Authenticate Unregistered Users they would still authenticate to the LDAP server but would not match up their User record. They would be logged in but their licenses and groups would not be picked up from the User form. For Allow Guest Users they would be allow to login as a guest using any username they typed in. You usually wouldn't see a user behavior change on mass scale like this. Did something in change between the external authentication server and Remedy? Maybe their LDAP usernames where changed (jsmith changed to john.smith) and they are now registering as Guests? Maybe somebody changed the case of the Login Names of all of these users in the User form? Just some thoughts, HTH.

Re: AR User Floating licenses converting to Read (UNCLASSIFIED)
Make sure the Host ID is correct on all of your licenses you have installed. Check this by going to add a new license. Select the Product Feature of "AR Server" and note the Host ID that remedy pulls. Next, check your license keys that you've already installed to ensure they are referencing the same Host ID. If they are not, then the license keys will be invalid. It is case sensitive (I've found out the hard way), so ensure all the letters are the same case (should be upper case). If the Host ID is different, on your existing licenses which have previously been installed, then what remedy chooses when you go to add a new license, then something changed, either you had to have a NIC replaced (in the event your server does not have integrated network ports), or for some reason remedy is seeing a different MAC (as most servers have more than one), or maybe they virtualized your server overnight without letting you know.

Re: AR User Floating licenses converting to Read (UNCLASSIFIED)
The initial Read (floating) is as designed the not getting a write license when they save is a different issue. -Original Message- From: Nguyen, AnhThien Mr CTR NG NGB ARNG To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Tue, Jul 7, 2009 10:21 am Subject: Re: AR User Floating licenses converting to Read (UNCLASSIFIED) Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: FOUO Thanks Roger, but we are well below the number of Floating licenses available.

I found out that the people who cannot save tickets are the ones who have floating licenses. I then looked at my Remedy licenses and all the AR User floating licenses have turned into Read(floating) licenses. Why all of a sudden? Nothing changed/updated on the Remedy system. I have also called Remedy and their recommendation is to restart the server. I thought I ask, since (hopefully) someone out there might have a suggestion/solution that doesn't require a restart of the server. Any help is greatly appreciated.
