Activating application licenses (new installations)

To install BMC Atium Core, you must have a BMC Remedy AR System write license (fixed or floating). You must also have the appropriate application licenses to create or modify entries in the Application Administration Console. These requirements supersede the BMC Remedy AR System Submitter Mode settings documented in Setting license options in the BMC Remedy AR System Online Documentation.

A license key is a value that enables you to activate a license. Licensing requirements vary, depending on which version of BMC Remedy AR System you use. Depending on the components that you use, you might need several licenses to activate an application. You must activate the licenses before installing the applications. You must know the host ID of the system running the applications when you request a license key.

If you have questions about licensing requirements, contact Customer Support. For more information, see also Adding or removing licenses.
