Activating application licenses

To add information to BMC Remedy applications, 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.

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.

To add licenses to BMC Remedy AR System 7.5.00 patch 003 or later, you can enter them into a form or import them from a file. Licenses are active as soon as they are added to the server.

Note

You must activate the licenses before installing the applications.
The license type of a user cannot be changed to Fixed more than three times in one week.

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