We see a severe issue with license management in a CLM environment.
Example:
Problem:
Has anybody understood the mechanism behind the license borrow mechanism? I thought it's action depending, what kind of license I need. So which actions out of RTC needs licenses from other tools? |
Accepted answer

http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.jazz.repository.web.admin.doc%2Ftopics%2Fc_license_mgmt_over.html Now an RRC Analyst is need when:
Now that said if the user is logging in new for the day, and only uses floating licenses, the floating license server might be randomly allocating the first license it finds that satisfies an action, for example say the user needs to create a work item, any of the 3 floating licenses satisfies this need so the license server could allocate say an Analyst CAL instead of the Developer CAL. It is only when Developer specific actions like source code access or build is needed will the Developer CAL be allocated instead. Guido Schneider selected this answer as the correct answer

Thanks. The answer from Robin below and the mentioned enhancement request explain me what is happening. I'm looking forward to 4.0 upgrade and what will happen with the license usage. |
