Hi,
Group A will have access to the 10 reserved licenses and also any other
licenses that is unused at that time.
To divide your users inte two groups with 10 and 30 respectively, you need
to assigne 10 to group A, and then 30 to group EveryoneButA, and assign
all other users to that group.
>From an optimization standpoint, it is allways best NOT to use license
pools at all. Try the test-version of RRR|License to check how well you
use your current licenses! Our customers usually free at least 10-30
percent of their total number of licenses!
Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://rrr.se

>> Greetings List!

>> We are wondering how the Floating License field works on the Group form.

>>
>>
>> For instance, if we have 40 licenses total, and set this number 10 for

>> it
>> only be possible for non-Group A members to use up to 30 tokens (since

>>

>> Please let me know if I'm not clear- its been a long week, so this all
