Working with BMC Helix Innovation Suite licenses
To configure license limits, assign licenses to users, and control and report license consumption in alignment with how user licenses were purchased, BMC provides support for bundled licenses. As a system administrator, you can assign bundled licenses to the users, which are used to access the BMC Helix Innovation Suite and its applications.
BMC has used different pricing models to sell BMC Helix Innovation Suite, and each of those models used different SKU names. For example, the term “2015 Pricing Model” refers to the first year when a specific pricing model was introduced. To find out what pricing model is relevant to you, identify the names of the licenses or subscriptions that you have bought from BMC, and compare them to the names in the pricing model folders. All of the licenses or subscriptions that you have bought must be from the same model.
To add an AR System server license you need a license key. For more information about generating a license key, see Obtaining license keys.
