Mauricio, With out data you can only make a guess. We are a world wide organization using one AR System server. We have found that there are many factors that influence license utilization. Most of our users are US based but there is also a large number of others outside the US.
Here are factors that we found influence out peak utilization: Time of day - we see peaks utilization between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM Eastern Holidays - peaks are lower during a holiday as expected. However peaks can be higher before and after a holiday. Additional consideration is EMEA holidays which are different than US bank holidays Maintenance weekend - often see higher usage peaks after a maintenance weekend. First of the month - Higher usage peaks at the beginning of the month. Due to change freezes at the end of the month to avoid month end. Day of the week - Higher usage peaks at the beginning of the week than at the end of the week.

Mauricio 2012/6/28 Jose Huerta <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> ** Erlang formulas assume Poisson distribution. Your team won't be distributed in any computable wat. So I recommend you to study the use. Maybe you can try the RRR|License tool. Jose M.

I was wondering if anyone has used Erlang formulas to get a more solid number?
