Subject: Barcode Printing

**
I have what I hope is a simple issue.

I am designing an asset tracking system.  We will be utilizing ITSM 7.6.04.
I have chosen barcode printers.  We will be using the Zebra P4T Mobile solution 
to print our barcodes.

The problem I am having (never having done this before) is figuring out the 
mechanism to get Remedy to print the barcode.  We will be using a barcode that 
will have a 3 letter prefix and a 3-4 letter suffix.  The Suffix is dependant 
on the organization that owns the asset.  I will have a copy of the zebra 
designer pro v2 software to design the barcode, but I'm not sure how I will 
kick off the printing of it.

Can somebody give me some direction here?  Am I going in the right way?

Thanks in advance!

Hello All,
7.6.04


We have found an issue where workflow is truncating message and pager 
notifications are not being sent.

We have been having issues with the paging system getting messages sent to our 
paging script properly.  The pager message templates are sticking single quotes 
around things and then workflow is truncating the message to 128 chars, but it 
truncates the trailing single quote.  So, the linux send page shell script that 
we use does not get invoked because linux sees an unbalanced set of quotes and 
just waits for input, thus longer pages are never sent out.
I see the filter NTE:NPC:Translate_243_PagerMsgAlpha doing a set fields on 
'Pager Message Alpha' as LEFT($z1D Translation Text$, 128).

My thought is this... Can I create a filter that does a LEFT or REPLACE... (I 
forget the syntax) and stip the single quotes off the message prior to sending?

Thoughts Anyone? I haven't done anything like this in awhile and I'm a tad gun 
shy when it comes to modifying anything related to SYS:Notifications.

Thanks in Advance,

Jase

Re: Slightly OT: Mid-Tier and Apple iPhone...

2011-03-09 Thread Roberts, Chas
Joe,

Apple iOS does not support browser flash for either the iPhone, iPod or iPad.

Apple reconsidered its position on flash apps targeted for iOS, with the caveat 
that there be no calls to external functions.

“Jailbreaking”, while legal, subjects the iOS device to hackers.  If 
“jailbroken” iOS devices are updated to a later version of IOS, it removes the 
“jailbreak”, I have never heard of losing 500MB, but then I would never 
“jailbreak” as it is far too risky to compensate for any perceived benefit, 
which is likely free apps.

The reason for this is likely to prevent Apple’s users from suffering the 
malware attacks so prevalent on PCs and lately Androids.  The Apple iTunes 
model is structured to protect the brand, as well as the thousands of 
developers it has attracted.



Chas

So most of us who use these phones know that Apple iPhones (maybe iPads too?) 
do not support Flash, and most of the new ITSM consoles use Flash. So its 
obvious that currently, iPhones (and perhaps iPads) are not compatible with 
these applications.. Do the wireless views use Flash?

Has anyone gone down the route of finding a workaround? Running remote desktop 
on iPads may be a workaround if iPads do not support flash, but that would not 
quite be an option on iPhones..

As jail breaking iPhones  iPads is currently legal (at least in the US), is 
there a version of flash available for jail broken devices? If so, once a 
device is jail broken, is it possible to update that device without loosing 
anything, when a new version of an iOS is available? I’ve read a few blogs one 
of which said you may loose about 500 MB of disk space on a phone if you jail 
break it and then update to a new version of an iOS..

This post is for my information only and does not involve work that I am 
currently doing. My current customer does not have this as a requirement, but I 
figured I may be faced with this at some point somewhere..

Would these “requesters” need licenses (other than the free “read” license) if 
they only submit their own requests, check status on their requests, look at 
existing tickets, and update tickets they have submitted, assuming “Submitter 
Mode Lock” is enabled?

No.  In fact, they cannot work on tickets others have submitted because they’re 
not the “workers” – they are the requesters.  They only need to submit their 
own requests, check status on their requests and view any self-service 
knowledge information provided.

The “y” group (in your example) that would work on the tickets would have a 
Service Management Specialist user license - which is a license bundle that 
includes a write license for SRM technicians, analysts and administrators 
enabling them to modify data not owned by them.Or, if they work on the 
Service Desk rather than within Service Request Management, they’d have 
Incident/Problem Management user write licenses.  And so on…

The statement it represents the total number of users that your organization

correct?

Say we have BMC Remedy Self Service - Floating User Add-On License 20-Pk Lsn 
and have 14,000 potential users who would access SRM (our total expected user 
count).  Since it is a floating license this should cover the 14k people who 
may need to request something from our IT dept or search the KB?  Assuming no 
more than 20 people at a time are trying to use Self-Service functionality, 
correct?

Thanks, David.

Now I am confused.

Isn’t the purpose of the “Submitter Mode Locked” to enable “Requesters” to 
interact (including providing supplemental information) with tickets they have 
“Submitted”, without the cost of a license?  Not tickets that others have 
“Submitted”, but only where they were the “Submitter”.

In the case of a user created ARS application, the requirement for purchasing 
licenses is limited to folks who need to update tickets “Submitted” by others?

And at the same time, cannot users who have no license other than the free read 
license, browse the tickets contained within a user created ARS application, 
freely viewing a ticket regardless of who “Submitted” it?


Chas


Subject: Re: License Question...

Let me lead off by again reiterating that a license is not necessarily 
programmatic – i.e. a license does not mean that something is entered into AR 
System.  It means you are legally enabled to utilize the product under the 
terms of your purchase contract.

So to answer the question, yes – you have to purchase the licensed rights for 
requesters to use the SRM product.   However, there is nothing to 
programmatically enter into AR System to enable the users to exercise the 
licensed right to use the product as defined in the purchase contract.

From the Configuration Guide:

The Submitter Mode options are

Locked—Enables users who have their name in the Submitter field to modify

the locked submitter mode, after the entry is submitted, the value in the 
Submitter field cannot be changed.

Changeable—Requires users to have a write license to change any record,

So ignoring business licensed rights for the moment, a user with a read license

Subject: Re: License Question...

You are purchasing the business license rights to use the Self-Service 
applications (SRM and RKM) in a defined manner – namely to allow end-users to 
submit service requests, view their service requests and to view knowledge 
articles provided for self-service.  Regardless of any other business rights 
obtained through other licenses purchased, you have to purchase Self-Service 
user capacity to use SRM and RKM for self-service.

When you purchased AR System, you obtained unlimited rights to use the “free” 
read licenses within applications that have no other restrictions around their 
use.  For Self-Service, there is an additional business license right that is 
needed to use the applications for a specific purpose.  Regardless of the 
technology that enables their use, you have to have the business license rights 
to use the application as defined in your purchase contract.The 
Self-Service business license is needed in addition to any other licenses.

Trying to make this into a dumb metaphor, think about a fishing license.  A 
fishing license enables you to go fishing.  However, while the fishing license 
enables you to fish, there may be additional rules in place that limit you to 
catch a certain number of fish, only fish in certain places or disallow the 
catching of certain kinds of fish.  Even though your fishing license says you 
can go fishing, that license is further modified by other “contracts” (in this 
case, laws or regulations).   So just because I have a fishing license that 
lets me catch an unlimited amount of sardines, that same license may not enable 
me to catch an unlimited amount of tuna.  To catch additional tuna, I may have 
to get a business license that allows me to catch more than what I could 
normally catch with a standard fishing license.

So if you use the SRM or RKM applications for self-service as an end user – 
regardless of other licenses or enabled technology – you need to have the 
business rights to use the application for that purpose.

Hi Anne,

Actually, I was under the impression that Dave was not “…the official voice of 
BMC…” (based upon his sig-line which clearly indicates his opinions are his 
own);  I simply thought he’d have the answer to this question regarding proper 
licensing requirements.

What I am trying to confirm is similar to what you opined – namely:
“Free read/submit is intended as a convenience for people - usually end users - 
 to submit their own tickets; if they then need to add an update they can.”

I do not understand your next statement about “…having a help desk person take 
the ticket on the phone…”  Wouldn’t they then be the “Submitter”, and thus ruin 
the ability of the actual end user with the issue to add an updated 
description, for example?

I guess to be real clear, I am asking if “Submitter Mode Lock” creates a 
situation where the end users do not have to have a paid license, only the help 
desk and actual “second level” actually working the ticket do?  Is not the 
intent of “Submitter Mode Lock” to make Remedy affordable to an organization so 
it is more widely used?

Also to be explicitly clear, I am only concerned with custom in house written 
Remedy apps, not ones that have additional licensing requirements.


Chas


Subject: Re: License Question...

And just as a reminder (although Dave is the official voice of BMC) -

Free read/submit is intended as a convenience for people - usually end users -  
to submit their own tickets; if they then need to add an update they can.

One should not try to get around this by, for an example, having a help desk 
person take the ticket on the phone; putting them as the submitter; and then 
letting them work the ticket through to the end or put in updates from the 
second level people who are actually working the ticket without a write 
license. Or let's say I'm a change person; if I open a change request for 
myself and then want to work it all the way through to completion - I should 
have a write license.

If one is working a ticket, one is expected to have a write license. There are 
always technical tricks you can do, but those are not allowed (the EULA has 
wording to this effect).

Notwithstanding any requirements for licensing that may apply for using canned

I am only referring to user developed ARS apps.

Subject: Re: License Question...

You are purchasing the business license rights to use the Self-Service 
applications (SRM and RKM) in a defined manner – namely to allow end-users to 
submit service requests, view their service requests and to view knowledge 
articles provided for self-service.  Regardless of any other business rights

Re: License Question...

2011-01-26 Thread Roberts, Chas
David,

You are saying this because the 14,000 employees in your example may need to 
work on tickets others have submitted?

My impression was that if you have “x” number of employees that use the system 
-- but only “y” work on tickets sent by others, you’d require “y” fixed 
licenses or maybe “y/20” floating licenses…

Assuming “submitter mode locked” was in use and thus submitters could interact 
with their own tickets, but only read others’s tickets… While the “y” group 
could do the ticket management (such as a help desk… working on problems 
submitted by areas outside their area)

True?


Thanks,
Chas



Subject: Re: License Question...

The ratio for the floating Self-Service licenses is 100 to 1 – i.e. if you have 
14,000 employees that could potentially access the system, you’d need 140 
floating licenses.

** David,

The statement it represents the total number of users that your organization 
expects to access..., that does not hold true for floating Self-Service 
correct?

Say we have BMC Remedy Self Service - Floating User Add-On License 20-Pk Lsn 
and have 14,000 potential users who would access SRM (our total expected user 
count).  Since it is a floating license this should cover the 14k people who 
may need to request something from our IT dept or search the KB?  Assuming no 
more than 20 people at a time are trying to use Self-Service functionality, 
correct?

All,
Currently we are paying for:
BMC Remedy Self Service − User Add−On License
According to BMC they state it is needed by end users to submit a request?
But That doesn’t make sense.
All you need to submit a request is to have a Read LICENSE, and Service Request 
User permissions.

Now, I’ve done some searching on the web (couldn’t find anything in the 
documentation…) and apparently this “BMC Remedy Self Service” LICENSE
is needed by the Request System.

But How is it needed and Why is it needed?
We have the BMC:SR Mgmt Application license, is this the same thing?
Then I take a look at the quantity of these Licenses that we have, and they 
seem either WAY too low, or WAY too high.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks
Matt P.

I have a table T204 and the AR SYSTEM automatically creates a view on top of it 
called TEIS_SURVEY_TEXT

I need to create a view and need to know the ramifications of creating a view 
of a view.

I could create my view like this:

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW ARADMIN.TYCO_ADR_SURVEY_TYPE_V (REQUEST_ID, 
STATUS, LANGUAGE) AS
  SELECT REQUEST_ID , STATUS, LANGUAGE FROM TEIS_SURVEY_TEXT;

Which would be a view of a view.

Or should I create it like this:

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW ARADMIN.TYCO_ADR_TEIS_TYPE_V (REQUEST_ID, 
STATUS, LANGUAGE) AS
  SELECT T204.C1,C8,C536870918

Re: Survey Monkey

2010-09-29 Thread Roberts, Chas
I took the time to call Kinetic Data and at a base price of $12,500.00 per 
Remedy server per year, it is easy to understand why Kinetic Data does not post 
the price on their website.  It took five calls to even get someone on the 
phone.  They are a voicemail organization.

I cannot imagine paying 6,250% more for this solution, especially in this 
economy.  What could possibly justify such an exorbitant expense, when the same 
functionality is available for $200 (not even tied to server count - flat $200 
for any and all usage per year?)

Sure it may integrate directly with Remedy, but Survey Monkey is at least as 
customizable and easy to implement and use.  In fact from the look at Kinetic 
Data's website, Survey Monkey has them beat in all respects look  feel wise.

Can it be worth $12,500.00 per server per year to avoid manually importing 
Excel data?

Five minutes of cleanup and then import the salient features directly into

Remember that Kinetic Survey and Kinetic Request are the same application with 
different license keys.  When it comes to $$$, Kinetic Request is 
_significantly_ less expensive than SRM (and far easier to implement and 
maintain).  We got our value from the Request side of the app, and only bought 
the Lite license for Survey - which may be all that you need to implement a 
follow-up survey process.  The Kinetic apps ARE Remedy apps - everything they 
do is inside the ARSystem database, so direct integration to ITSM or a custom 
app is relatively easy.  The web portal is NOT a mid-tier app, which allows it 
to work with a wider range of browsers, so it makes for a VERY effective 
customer portal and service catalog.

Survey Monkey is a foreign app to Remedy, and I had to spend six months prying 
data out of it and forcing it into a usable form when I did my dissertation 
research, and I was NOT impressed.  We license it in various departments at the 
university for quick and dirty surveys with an easy to use question development 
interface, but the data side of it is filthy.  When you download data to .csv 
for import into a database like MS Access, ultimately for import into SPSS (the 
Excel spreadsheet formats are difficult to use for that), it re-defines the 
column IDs for the questions and responses in ways that add hours to process of 
combining data sets.  If you don't mind a lot of manual hand-jamming of data 
into a usable format, it does provide excellent questionnaire development and 
user tracking - that's why we use it!  On the other hand, it would be my _last_

Re: How to classify software as a service in Asset

2010-08-04 Thread Roberts, Chas
The short answer is:

Software as a Service is a Service
Software as an Asset is an Asset

Does the software you are talking about classifying have extended ownership 
rights?
Or do you rent it?

There you go

Classify some as Asset  (the ones that are Assets)
And some as Service (the ones that are SaaS)

Again, rather than focusing on a particular technology, everyone needs to 
understand that what is important is the capability, not the method.  For 
example, as per the 7.5.00 Release notes:

In Release 7.5.00, the arimportcmd command-line interface is replaced with a 
Java data import command-line utility. See Using the BMC Remedy Data Import 
utility in the Integration Guide.

Thus, it is expected that the ability to import data into AR System will 
continue into future releases - most likely through the Java Data Import 
utility.

If you have a concern that a particular capability will be lost, I'd be happy 
to listen to what capabilities are of concern.  Please be sure to ask about the 
capability, though - not the specific technology.

Subject: Re: CI Name - Computer Systems

We adopted the following naming conventions for CI's:

Introduction

BMC Remedy ITSM / Atrium CMDB systems have a need for unique names to use in 
identifying each instance of a configuration item.  The convention needed to be 
separate from the network name so as to include configuration item that were 
not network addressable.  It also needed to cover soft assets such as software 
licenses, process documents, and services.

General Format:

The general format for the Item name is CCC-A.  The CCC represents a 2-3 
character functional group code identify general type of configuration item.  
The A9 is the format of the asset tag including a single alpha-character 
followed by a 5 digit number.  If the item does not have or warrant an asset 
tag the alpha-character of X will be used with a 5 digit sequentially 
generated number.  The X9 generated number need only be unique for the CCC 
class of the object.

Generally each instance will also have another unique identifier to associate 
with the item name such as serial number or license number.  Also each 
addressable device will have attributes that capture the network device name 
and/or address (IP).  The attributes and associated date values collected will 
be dependent upon the Configuration Item Class as defined in the BMC Atrium 
CMDB Common Data Model This is different than the functional group that is part 
of the name but related in that several classes may belong to a functional 
group.

Initial Functional Group Codes:

The following functional group codes will be used.
CS = Computer System
MON = Monitor (monitor, projector)
PRT = Printer
PHD = Peripheral Device or System Component (drive, scanner, digitizer, 
etc)
DSL = Definitive SW (license)
SRV = Service
DOC = Document
PRC = Process (document)
EQP = Equipment (other office equipment, copies, bindery)
BINV = Bulk (Consumables and Supplies)
INV-BLD = Inventory Locations (where BLD is the Site Code)


This has served us well so far in allowing us to track configuration items, 
primarily through asset management.
If you need more details or discussion regarding some of the considerations 
that went into building this naming convention, please let me know.

Hope this helps,
Lee Marsh

Subject: CI Name - Computer Systems

Hi everyone,

We currently have the CMDB installed, but are not using it to its greatest 
potential.  We are only manually imported and updating the CI's as people see 
fit.  The initial owner of this process had the Tag Number and the CI Name as 
the same thing - the tag number of the CI.  Nice to have duplicate data!

They now would like to change the CI Name to be something more meaningful:
1. As we are on 7.0 and it shows the CI Name in the CI Viewer 2. Because 
virtual machines do not have tag numbers

What is everyone else using as the CI Name in the Computer Systems form?

Thanks!

Re: Robert02 Kern is out of the office.

2009-07-08 Thread Roberts, Chas
dd.mm.yy is only a puzzle at the beginning of the month.  After the first two 
weeks it sticks out like horns on a pig.

Kind of like military time.  To understand it, just subtract 12 from the hours

I've been doing DD/MMM/YY for several years now.  It seems to confuse some

is, I find it easiest to get the date out of the way first.

Re: W-2 vs. 1099

2008-09-08 Thread Roberts, Chas
W-2 does not allow travel to and from work, I think.  Travel during the day may 
be deductible, but not the round trip to the main work site.  W-2 will also 
require the employing entity to withhold taxes.

The 1099 allows all mileage to be deducted, since you are not an employee, but 
a contractor.  You will personally need to make quarterly deposits in your IRS 
tax withholding account, or risk fines.

I think you'd better be sure by checking with a professional tax preparer.

Hello ARSlisters. Sorry for the off-topic post! I have a question about bidding 
projects W-2 as opposed to 1099. Check to see if I'm right:

With W-2, you get to have a portion of your income tax-free as a per-diem. Not 
so with 1099, but you can deduct your expenses from your taxes.

 Doesn't one of those options carry the employer's expectation of a lower rate? 
If I'm given the choice of W-2 or 1099 with the same rate for both, which 
should I choose, if significant travel is involved?

Thanks in advance!

Open Position - Remedy Developer - Oklahoma City, OK







Hello There,
My name is Britt Kilgrow. I represent The Fountain Group, which is a 
professional services company, as a Recruiter. We are seeking qualified 
candidates to join our growing family of Professionals. Based on information 
that I was able to obtain from Monster, I wanted to email you in hopes that you 
may be a good fit for a Long Term Open Ended position that we are looking to 
fill in Oklahoma City, OK (95% Travel).  We need a Remedy Developer proficient 
in the following:
Timeframe we are looking to fill the position:

***Immediately

Job Description:


95% travel, but home every month for a week

Requires a minimum of an interim clearance

The candidate must have Remedy ARS 7.x experience and worked in development of 
the ITSM 7.x suite of applications. [Our specific implementation 
versions/modules are listed below.] We would appreciate Air Force experience 
[specifically eTANG (Customized Remedy 6.3 implementation)], but will not 
disqualify an applicant without this experience.

 *   eTANG (Remedy 6.3 with customized modules: C4N, MSL, SEF, CKL,  TTS)
 *   Remedy ARS 7.1
 *   ITSM Modules:
SLM 7.1
Incident Mgmt 7.00.3
Problem Mgmt 7.00.3
Asset Mgmt 7.00.3

CMDB 2.1

The position requires the candidate have a DoD Secret Clearance (interim at 
minimum before interviewing) and 95% travel. All development will take place in

possible 6 week extension into January 2009.

The project is currently scheduled to complete development work in OKC, OK by

Instruction Validation and System Testing), then travel to Langley AFB 
(Norfolk, VA) and/or Peterson AFB (Colorado Springs, CO) for 6 wks for system 
installation. [Current site readiness may require the candidate to install at 
Langley AFB then Peterson AFB, but the intent is to complete the installations 
concurrently.]

Compensation:  Based on Experience

in the employment history portion of your resume, and elaborate a little on how 
you used them. This information betters your chances in receiving the position.

Re: OT: Friday (strange) humor

2008-07-18 Thread Roberts, Chas
This is very true.  The least expensive digital system sounds better than all 
but the most expensive analog equipment.  The media lasts longer, and is easier 
to duplicate for archival purposes.

And if you like the warmth and natural distortion of the older gear, amp 
and preamp modeling is a slam-dunk, with the ability to digitally mimic the 
sound characteristics of virtually any of the vintage setups, with great 
fidelity.

I have heard that argument before.   My question is this, for the average 
person, spending less than 3000 dollars, which one really sounds better.  And 
also the average person is not going to maintain their vinyl well enough to 
keep out the pops.

I opt for durability and portability.  In fact, when I got my first demo of a 
new technology (Cd's) the guy proved how durable they were by throwing them 
against walls and actually driving over one.  Granted if you spin your tires it 
won't last, but you couldn't do any of that with vinyl or tapes.  Seemed pretty 
cool to me.  And now they have solid memory players so that you can abuse them 
in other ways and they keep on ticking.  But I chuckle every time I see a 
jogger with a micro drive mp3 player.

Technology is a gain, but with every choice, there are sacrifices.

If anyone would like to know, vacuum tubes are still a really big deal
for audiophiles and for people in the music biz. This is because people
who care generally agree that the sound of tube amplification is
subjectively better than the sound of solid state amplification, with a
few exceptions.

Guitar players like them because tubes produce better-sounding
distortion, with a rounded sound-wave rather than the jagged sound wave
that an overdriven solid state circuit would produce. All-tube amps are
favorites. Some of them are quite old and some of them are new, but
they're all pretty darned heavy. Sometimes the pre-amp circuit (the one
that gets overdriven) will be tube and then the real amplification
circuit will be solid-state, but for that good, slightly crunchy attack,
you need all-tube. Also, singers and recording engineers will use
microphones with an internal pre-amp which contains an itty-bitty vacuum
tube. These sound warmer.

Audiophiles also like the warm sound that tubes give. Some of the most
heaviest, most expensive, and esoteric amplifiers are all-tube,
rendering units that cost tens of thousands of dollars. Each channel
gets a separate amplifier. They turn these things on and leave them on
for the life of the unit...if they are seriously bonkers audiophiles,
that is.

Anyway, the move to solid-state equipment created a tube crisis for
lots of guitar players and amplifier manufacturers. Crisis was averted
when the industry found a ready source for vacuum tubes: Russia. They
still had plenty of crap that ran on them!

with filters, add them to the mix.  Then multiply by the number of tickets.  
Add something for guides or other programming constructs you have implemented.

That would be a better indication of the complexity, which is what the metric 
is attempting to discover.

YMMV

Okay, I will reset the clock on the list server so we are now Friday.
From the original question, any Friday in the 1970s or 80s.

Don't forget to use 71 character lines (if I remember correctly and probably
don't, column 72 was for an X to say this line is extended for at least
Fortran and the rest were for sequencing your card deck in case they fell
off where you put them and spread themselves over the floor).

Anybody who knows the correct answer has *really* dated themselves.
For the rest of you, I am going back 32 years, the first and last year I
used a card punch.

So David, bundle up all the responses from the arslist, bind them, Pick a
number(as recommended by your peers, either random number or An inaccurate
calculated one), attach a printout of the .def file and All supporting code
from mid-tier, integrations etc. and hand it in :-)

p.s. has everyone requested funding for the BMC UserWorld in Miami?

Geez . . . no one has used the lines of source code (SLOC) measurement
since the 1980's!  It was a poor metric then with monolithic languages
(Cobol, Fortran, etc.), and it's an even poorer metric today using
object-oriented software and N-tier architectures.

But you may still need to provide a valid number.  Can anyone from Remedy
provide a ballpark SLOC metric by application?

A little help?

2008-07-03 Thread Roberts, Chas
Hi Folks,



I am searching for a copy of the free Adobe Reader that works with Windows CE 
2.11 for a Hitachi SH4 processor.



It's for an elderly PDA solid state laptop (Compaq Aero 8000)



Does anyone have a copy, or a pointer to where I might procure one?



Any other software for that unit would be interesting, as well.





Thanks,



Chas

Questions regarding Licensing.

2008-01-08 Thread Roberts, Chas
Hi Listers,

I want to refresh my memory...  

As a Remedy Skilled Professional, I remember that One Fixed License and
Five Floating Licenses were basically interchangeable (the same price).
Is this still the case?

Also I remember that you had the option of setting Submitter
Mode-Locked, which in effect allowed most of your employees to add and
update their own tickets without requiring any licensing or royalty
payment.  The only time a Fixed or Floating License is required is for
someone to update tickets that others have submitted.  Is this still the
case?


Thanks for your combined wisdom, oh keepers of the faith!

Re: Questions regarding Licensing.

2008-01-08 Thread Roberts, Chas
Thank you LJ LongWing (Head)  for your speedy answer.

But why would someone spend more for Floating Licenses than for fixed?
I thought Floating Licenses were less expensive because they were not
always available.  This is why I thought that five people could share a
license or one person could always be guaranteed one...

Please enlighten me?

Chas Roberts
