Viewing the BMC Helix Innovation Suite licensing information

Use the Licenses tab to display information about the type and number of AR System licenses on a server. You can also set the Submitter Mode in this tab.

Best practice
We recommend that you use the AR System Management Console to manage the licenses. For more information, see Setting-global-level-and-local-level-configurations-for-a-server-group.

To display server license information and set the submitter mode

Important

This form shows the local level value of the configuration. If a local value does not exist, the form displays the global level configuration. If you modify the value on this form, the local level configuration value is modified.

For example, if a configuration shows global level value and you modify the value by using this form, the local level value gets created for the configuration.

    Licenses tab fields

    Field Name

    Description

    Server License Type

    Displays the license type of the server.

    Fixed Write Licenses

    Displays the total number of AR System User Fixed licenses on the server.

    Floating Write Licenses

    Displays the total number of AR System User Floating licenses on the server.

    Max Forms Allowed on Server

    Displays the number of forms your license allows you to create on the server. If this field reads Unlimited, you can create as many forms as you want.

    AR System Server ID

    Displays the AR System identifier code attached to the server license.

    Submitter Mode 

    Defines the conditions under which submitters can modify the requests they initially submit (that is, where their names are in the Submitter field). Select one of the following options:

    • Locked—(Default) Users can modify requests they submit without a write license. This does not apply to users with a Restricted Read license who cannot modify requests under any circumstances. In the locked submitter mode, after the entry is submitted, the value in the Submitter field cannot be changed.
    • Changeable—Users must have a write license to modify requests.

    Changes to the Submitter Mode settings do not take effect until the server is stopped and restarted.
