5.5.00 enhancements

BMC License Usage Collection Utility 5.5.00 provides the following new features:

• Supports date range across all BMC Digital Workplace Active User Report from version 3.5 to version 20.02.
• Supports an alert mechanism on exceeding the threshold for ARS product.
  • For Action Request System, LUCU supports email alert mechanism with Scheduler option.
  • If any AR System license component is overused, then LUCU creates a new report with title; for example, <SERVER_NAME>_ARSLicense_overusage_LUCU.csv.
    This report is accessible in the Details of Selected Reports Run (by Deployment) table, under the Usage Analysis Report column.
  • If the AR System report is in capacity, then the current product usage report is opened.
  • For AR System product execution failure or other BMC products, the report is displayed as Not Applicable.
