   Warning

   Note

   The License Type field with the Read, Fixed, Floating, and Restricted Read values is applicable only for BMC Remedy AR System server user licenses and not for application licenses. The License Type field with the Bundled value can be used to assign bundled licenses to the users. Also, for this option, you must select a value for the Application License field from the drop-down menu, which grants the license to access the BMC Remedy AR System server and the selected applications. The Application License field displays the bundled license that is assigned to you in the Electronic Product Distribution (EPD) system.

   To provide a user with write access to the system, set the License Type field to Fixed or Floating.

   Use the following syntax when providing users with application licenses:

   <vendorName:applicationName> <user> <typeOfLicense>
   XYZ:MusicManager User Fixed

   Separate multiple licenses with semicolons:

   ;XYZ:MusicManager User Fixed;;XYZ:NoiseManager User Floating;
5. Save your changes.
   These application licenses function like other user licenses for BMC Remedy products.You can view current user information in the Manage User Licenses window in the AR System Administration Console, as shown in the following figure.
