This topic provides BMC Helix Business Workflows customers with information specific to service operations. For BMC Helix Business Workflows product-specific documentation, visit the BMC Helix Business Workflows overview page.

 

For the first line of business, use the BMC Helix Business Workflows – Active or Named User license. For each subsequent line of business, use the BMC Helix Business Workflows - Additional Line of Business - Active or Named User license. You can add as many lines of business as required.

Active and Named Users are an end user based unit of measure.

Example

Apex Global plans to use BMC Helix Business Workflows to extend Service Management to other departments beyond IT. 

  • To add its first line of business - Human Resources, Apex uses the BMC Helix Business Workflows - Active User license.
  • Apex then wants to add another line of business - Finance. Apex uses the BMC Helix Business Workflows – Additional Line of Business – Active User license to add this additional line of business.
  • For adding any subsequent line of business Apex will keep using the BMC Helix Business Workflows – Additional Line of Business – Active User license.
