We just went through the purchasing BOXI license process for our new BOXI server and they are not cheap. SAP just bought out Business Objects and changed the licensing model. There are not more Fixed and Floating User licenses, according to our rep if you are standing up the BO Crystal Enterprise Server XI. You now have to purchase CPU licenses for each CPU for each application server. We purchased 2 because the price jumped signifgantly last June. CPU Licenses allow unlimited access to the Application server were BOXI is installed. If you try to call them to get new licenses they will tell you that you will need to purchase CPU licenses, or at least that is what they made us do. If they tell you other wise I would like to know.

We do not have any named licenses on the server but that is likely the direction we need to head in. I assume a named license on BOXI is similar to a fixed license in remedy? The named license would allow access at all time?

Give the Guest user a named license... won't that work?

Does anyone know a workaround to using concurrent licensing on BOXI R2 and the midtier? It seems that every time a report is fetched it uses a license, so even though its the same account being used everytime any reports are fetched back to back the 10 licenses we have run out fairly quick before they are dropped. This causes errors such as the following: Failed to Process the Request!! An Error occured at the Server: All of your systems 10 concurrent access licenses are in use at this time.....
