   Fields in Add or Remove Licenses form

   Field	Description
   License Type	From the list, select the type of license to activate. You can also enter a custom license type that is not in the list. Note You can add only one entry for each license type except server licenses (multiple server licenses are distinguished from each other by license keys). To increase or decrease the number of licenses available for other license types, modify the existing entry.
   Number of Licenses	For the specified license type, enter the appropriate number of licenses. Server, server option, and application licenses 0 indicates the license is inactive. 1 indicates the license is active. User licenses 0 indicates the license is inactive. Any number greater than 0 indicates the maximum number of licenses available for use.
   License Qualifier	Used to further identify license behavior Do not modify the contents of this field unless instructed to do so by BMC or a qualified BMC partner.
   Key	(Server licenses only) Enter the appropriate license key in this field. To get a key, see Obtaining BMC Remedy license keys. Note Do not enter a 6.0-7.0.x key in this field. Instead, import it from a .lic file. See Importing licenses.
   Expiration Date	For trial licenses, enter the date after which the license is no longer in effect. (In BMC Remedy AR System 7.1.00 and later, only trial licenses expire.)
