Hi, I believe Peter Adams hit the nail on the head here, you need to check with your BMC representative as Peter mentions not all pricing plans allow Read only access.
I came across this same dilemma for a new client this year where the EULA changed where Read only licencing was not permitted. ---------------------------------------------- Kind Regards, Carl Wilson From: ARSList <arslist-boun...@arslist.org> On Behalf Of Theo Fondse Sent: 27 November 2018 21:17 To: 'ARSList' <arslist@arslist.org> Subject: RE: BMC Remedy Decommissioning Process At minimum, you can back up the Remedy database and scrap the entire system after verifying the last backup. You can always access the data directly from the restored DB if needs be. There should not be any issue if you retain the system as-is and make it “read-only” in whatever way you choose.

Especially since no changes will be made.

The licensing completes by Dec 2018 and we have already stopped using the tool. We want only the read-only archival data as per the company data retention policy. We would remove all the paid licenses and hold only the demo license for retrieving the archived data. I remember when I worked for other companies they used to have the Remedy Server running in a read only mode with the demo license in place for pulling archived data. Just wanted to confirm/understand whether this policy with BMC is still valid or not. Regards, Sriram.

You will then not be able to get upgrades, support or new license keys if you need to reinstall. Another solution is to dump out the data to ARX-files and convert these to HTML-pages where you can then review data there if you need to. I have created a set of free tools to accomplish exactly this task: - RRR|Chive to dump data to ARX-files: https://rrr.se/cgi/index?pg=chive - RRR|ArxToHtml to convert the ARX-files and Form Definitions to crude HTML-pages that you store on a file share: https://rrr.se/cgi/tools/main?tool=rrrArxToHTML Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://www.rrr.se (ARSList MVP 2011) Ask the Remedy Licensing Experts (Best R.O.I.

As part of the data retention policy we need to retain the data. In my previous organizations they used to remove the all the paid licenses from remedy and server will run with the standard demo licenses. This demo login would be used to pull data from remedy based on requirements from the users. Just wanted to confirm whether this decommissioning process is still applicable. If not please let me know the current process.
