Dave, Thanks for correcting my error on the one hour time out and providing the MidTier version number.

Clarification – there is not a way to reduce the time out to under 1 hour. Ø I don't remember the version but after a certain version there is a setting in MidTier that corrects the issue of a user closing the browser and the license is still held for an hour. It is in version 7.5.00 and later: "You can set a delay timer that releases an AR System user license associated with a user if that user navigates away from the mid tier or does not log out of the BMC Remedy Mid Tier properly by closing the last browser window associated with the current HTTP session. The mid tier initiates a delay timer when the user closes the last browser window associated with the established HTTP session. When the delay timer expires, the user’s license is released, and the HTTP session terminated. If the user navigates back to the mid-tier URL before the delay time expires, the delay timer is cancelled, and the current HTTP session is resumed. To set the timer, edit the License Release Timeout field in the BMC Remedy Mid Tier Configuration Tool. See the “General settings” section of the BMC Remedy Mid Tier Guide." -David J.

Is there any way to further reduce this to 30 minutes? Running BMC Remedy & ITSM applications version 7.1, when a user closes the browser without logging out, is the license still held until the 1 hour limit is up? (2) I know there are utilities (that you can pay for) available that can analyse the license usage and make recommendations, but is there any free utilities (instead of trawling through logs) that would help optimise allocation, usage and releasing of licenses? I am after something that will give me a statement of which users logged in over a 24 hour period, how long they remained in Remedy applications and how often they logged in and out of Remedy during that period.
