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 |

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 Cheers, Geoff micjohnson997 wrote: gmclemmwrote: |
