Re: Floating License Estimation - rule of thumb or formula

Hi, I would divide it into two things. One is budget, and the other thing how you actually do when you buy your licenses. Budget: 1. Look into the sky and figure out your concurrent user count 2. Do a 1:1 ratio (50% fixed 50% floating) and use that as a basis for your budget Buying licenses: 1.
