BMC Chat licenses

2014-08-26 Thread rajesh
Hi Experts,
 
We are planning to Implement BMC Chat in Remedy 8.1 Environment.However we have 
few queries on 
Licensing and business cases.I have gone through BMC Chat Admin/User  
Installation Guide,but 
could not gather much information.Please advise on below to proceed further:-
 
1- Do we need separate licenses for BMC Chat  Virtual Agent?
2-Is it possible,if we do not want to implement Virtual agent and allow end 
users to directly 
communicate with the support Agents?
3-If we are not implementing Virtual Agent,do we still need Named User 
License?
4-We have close to 20k user who will be using BMC Chat so does it mean everyone 
needs to have 
named License to use BMC Chat.

Kindly provide your valuable thoughts.

Regards,
Raj

Rajesh,
I'm no licensing expert, but here is my understanding.

1 - As you have pointed out, Chat and Virtual Agent are two completely
separate things
2 - Due to the fact that Chat uses an open (non bmc) chat server, that you
can actually connect to outside of Remedy, I can't see how they can require
licenses to connect to the chat server
3 - With that saidit's accessing the Chat server through a Remedy
interface, so the user needs to have some sort of license to access the
Remedy stuff (not related to Chat)as far as I'm aware, 'that' license
is sufficient to allow your users to chat among themselves relating to
tickets.
