Good Morning Listers,
Jose,
We started out by purchasing a fixed licence for most of the folks who use the
system full time.
This included helpdesk and operations center folks. The only ones from
helpdesk or NOC who got float licenses were those who routinely worked night
shift. Because we
Just wondering -- I am always confused by this 5 to 1 concept.
If you have 5000 defined float users - and you have 100 float licenses --
is that 50 to 1 ???
So - to go from 5 to 1 to 8 to 1 -- how are you doing that? Are you taking
away full licenses - and switching people to floats?
Or - are

In order to give response to this question I wrote this approach:
http://theremedyforit.com/2012/07/estimating-the-required-number-of-licenses/
That was my idea for a paper for the WWRUG12. And to develop the calculator
in a web application of free use. But, now I know I won't go, I publish it
Hi,
I would divide it into two things. One is budget, and the other thing how
you actually do when you buy your licenses.
Budget:
1. Look into the sky and figure out your concurrent user count
2. Do a 1:1 ratio (50% fixed 50% floating) and use that as a basis for
your budget
Buying licenses:
1.
I think that the problem is that he can't buy extra licenses. I mean, He
needs to provide a budget to assist the decision of buying Remedy. To buy a
minimum number of licenses and then increase as needed, is to make the
decision without known the final TCO.

Hi,
In that case they need to spend much more money, as they have to spend
according to the budget instead of their actual need.
I understand that you NEED a budget, but that does not mean that you have
to SPEND the whole budget.
And I also understand that sales reps might have a different idea
I guess the first approach and easiest way to proceed is to estimate a 3:1
ratio or 5:1 ratio according to the book, maybe applying some % up, and
providing with two or three scenarios. After that, more precise measurment
should be done, we need to measure the actual license usage over a period
of
Hello All,
I know this is and old age question but it continues to be relevant on how
you estimate the appropiate number of floating licenses that will be needed
in the near future for a given application, but not taking into account any
past behaviour, I mean, suppose that we do not have
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.

Hi Jose,
So in order to simplify a model, don´t you think you can compare this
distribution to the behaviour of ocassional users logging in and updating
records? because RRRLicense measures over a period of time and I do not
have historical data and no window frame to measure from this present
at the beginning of the week than at the
end of the week.

Hi,
I would say that there is no rule of thumb.
Even if you have historical data, you could come up with 5:1 or 1:5, all
depending how your system is used.
One days worth of data will give you some information, and one week will
give you a very good estimate.
You can even try the free version
Hi Misi,
But in your experience how do you do when it is for budgeting purposes,
these are custom applications that have not been used before and they need
to provision the licenses needed for the future load ... you say the only
way to have a number close to reality is based only in previous
