Hi Ashish,

Cold you elaborate on your question, what exactly you want here in User License?

Thanks!

As far as I know, there is no concept of user's floating license in ServiceNow.

If you want to see the users ServiceNow is counting against your licensing check out "Licensed Users" under "User Administration."

I have the same question.

Floating licenses measure the number of concurrent users using the software or module, not the number of installations.

We have purchased floating licenses for several expensive engineer type applications.   The idea is you can install as many clients as you like as they don't require a license, but when the application is launched, it checks to see how many users are currently using the app, and only allows you to use it if you're able to "pull" a license from a server.

My though was to create two software models --   one for the client and one for concurrent licenses.

The client software model would have a "no license required" license type.

For the concurrent licenses I was thinking about setting up a model whose license type is blank (no counting), and manually assign license packs to the model so I can track what we bought a purchased.

Do anyone this this is a good or bad idea?
