MAS Licensing Allowing for separate Suite License Servers

Modify MAS to integrate to multiple Suite License servers. New users would be associated to a default license server. Optionally, when adding new users we would like to be able to associate users with a secondary license server. These secondary license server users would probably need to be reserved users to keep the logic related to concurrent users limited to only the primary license server. This configuration will allow for contractors or other 3rd parties to supply licensing for their MAS users.

    Today, AppPoints are provided through a single license key file generated by a single license owning organization. This limitation does not support enterprise-wide Maximo implementations funded from multiple operating units and serviced by many third-party service providers and consultants (system integrators like financial, GIS, etc).

    Use Cases:
    - Service Providers want to maintain App Point licensing for their users to consume, seperately from the Maximo end client
    - Different corporate entities want to seperately pay for and provide licensing for their users

    Dave Gasdia @ IBM stated that the legacy token server configuration allowed for providing seperate Administrative and User license keys and suggested that we submit this Idea to have similar functions pulled forward. The suggestion here is to link to mulitiple license servers instead of supplying seperate license keys.

    Why do seperate license servers? Organizations that have users logging into multiple client systems don't want to license the same user for each system.
