Title: RE: After all these years (10) confused about Licensing

** Geoff:   Let me state what BMC stated "As designed".  This is because they are tightening down the licensing procedures.    I don't like this as much as you do.   BTW, if you want to continue this discussion, outside of my employer and contractor's email system, I am [EMAIL PROTECTED]   James McKenzie L-3 GSI   From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Geoff Endresen Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 7:37 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: After all these years (10) confused about Licensing ** James,   I think you don’t understand my use cases. Let me elaborate.   + All users in the company should be able to submit and modify their submitted cases when the server is in submitter mode locked. + All users should be able to view other related cases, without using a license. + Any user in the company (we verify through LDAP) can update any ticket at any time à therefore floating license. + There are about 5000+ such users that should be able to perform these actions, limited to the number of floating licenses we own.   In the past, viewing and submitting did not require a floating license. But in 6.3 the API has been changed so that an ARGetListEntry and ARGetCharMenu doles out a floating license.   Thanks to all, -Geoff From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of McKenzie, James J C-E LCMC HQISEC/L3 Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 6:53 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: After all these years (10) confused about Licensing   Axton: I would use that guage and purchase accordingly.  If a user requires constant interaction with the application and must update other's actions, Fixed license. If a user requires infrequent interaction where they will be logging on and off: Float. If a user is only entering actions on their behalf, Read. If a user is only reviewing actions and will not be doing ANY updating, Restricted Read. Same for the applications.
