Floating licenses?
How are floating licenses used in RTC? For example, if a dev just opens up RTC client and leaves it up, does that consume a license until he closes RTC?
Does a user need any sort of license (floating or fixed) to just browse through work items or code without making any changes?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

The floating license times out after a certain period (I believe
something between 30 minutes and a couple of hours ... I can never
remember the exact number).
Currently, we only require a license for write operations, not for read
operations.

Geoff,
I've heard that "chat" also consumes a license. Is this true as well? If so, is there a written statement on IBM's website somewhere that definitively states what "consumes" a floating license?
Thanks,

I've never heard that chat would consume a license (my money says "no",
but someone from the team that implemented chat should respond with a
definitive answer).
There is work being done for 2.0.0.1 to make it easier to understand
what license is needed for what. Nothing is fixed at this point, but
the general direction is:
- no license is required to read information
- a "Contributor" license can do everything except for SCM and Build
- a "Developer" license can do everything
