David,

Thanks for information. In all of my years of working with BMC/Remedy, the
sales bundles have always confused me and they seem to always change.

Thanks again and have a great weekend,

Howard

You're mixing sales bundles with technical licenses.  

The Knowledge Management Specialist user bundle contained the entitlement to
perform RKM administrator and analysis on RKM 7.5 and earlier.  It had a
pre-requisite of owning the Service Management Specialist license user
bundle which contained the entitlement to SRM as an administrator/analyst as
well as the AR System user license (and entitlement to use it).

The RKM Specialist user bundle was made obsolete with the release of 7.6.0x.
In 7.6.0x, the RKM user bundle described below is what powers and entitles
the use of Remedy Knowledge Management 7.6.0x and later.

Thanks. I guess my confusion is the old version of RKM and the current one.
I saw that we own 7 of something called a knowledge management specialist
floating add on license.

So I am trying to understand what licenses (other then AR or ITSM) are
needed for the 5 different roles that use 7.6.4 RKM.

For example does the knowledge viewer part of this RKM bundle?

I tried to find some doc that spells this out, but with no luck. So I you
know of something please point it out.

Take care and thanks

  It is not correct to say the RKM User licenses are paper - they are not.
You require an AR System user license to be able to perform administration
or analyst functions within RKM.  This is what is included with the RKM User
bundle.  Purchase of the RKM User bundle provides legal enablement to use
the AR System User license to perform those actions within RKM.
 
  It is correct that because RKM shares the same user licenses as AR System
that a unique RKM user license is not tracked within, for example, the
License Usage Report.  There is not currently a convenient method to
determine which users allocated an AR System user license are using RKM and
which are not.  Some customers have enabled auditing on key RKM forms to
track when a user utilizes the RKM product - and this can be used for
internal confirmation that the application is being used.
 
  The Self-Service End User license is paper - but is needed to provide
legal enablement to end users using read licenses to access either SRM or
RKM.
