What version of ITSM are you on? The answer differs depending on the version. For ITSM 6.0 or previous, application licenses were not formally tracked during operation. For ITSM 7.0 and above, applications licenses are processed and enforced by the server using the same logic as the AR System user licenses. -David J.

Depending on your version, you can turn it on at the admin or user client, at the server->log settings. We do some license monitoring/opimization based on that log file, down to the user. Don't want to advertise, but you could also invest in a tool for that: www.rrr.se They basically also take the user.log file and report on that. Just that they do all for you, so you dont have to build a report/logic you own ... from what I know, they can also report ITSM (so I assume, the ITSM licenses are also shown at the user.log file). Other then that, you have not provided much infos about how you have done your "current studies". Did you use the log file, or "just" check the available licenses? Based on that, we perhaps can help further :-) Cheerio, Robert Ps. yes, I think BMC should be way more helpful, in providing further help for optimized license allocation ... but hey, its a business :-) Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Best regards Robert Kern Corporate Infrastructure IT Operations - Service Integration - Service Desk IT CI OP SI SD Continental Automotive GmbH Sodener Strasse 9, 65824 Schwalbach, Germany Telefon/Phone: +49 6196872546 Telefax: +49 619 687792546 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.continental-corporation.com ______________________________________________________________________ Continental Automotive GmbH, Siemensstr. 12, 93055 Regensburg, Germany Geschäftsführer/Managing Directors: Helmut Matschi, Gérard Cordonnier, Harald Stuhlmann Sitz der Gesellschaft/Registered office: Hannover Registergericht/Commercial registry: Hannover, HRB 59424, USt-Id.
