IBM Floating User (license type)
Note: This license type is available only when you have licensed the FlexNet Manager for Datacenters product.
A license type for which consumption is not
automatically measured by usage and not updated by inventory imports. The license
agreement provides for a specified maximum number of users to be using the software at
one time. (Any individual user who accesses multiple instances of the software must be
separately licensed for each instance accessed at a time.) You may update the
Consumed property manually for record
keeping, or you can arrange for consumption to be updated by the Business Importer. Licenses of this type are over-utilized when the value of their
Consumed property exceeds the value
of their Total licensed property (both of these are displayed in
the Compliance tab of the license properties sheet). Product use rights | Second use, multiple use, downgrade rights, upgrade rights, licensing on VM hosts, and a specific right for each user to access multiple installations. All these fields are available for record keeping purposes, but do not affect any calculations. |
