Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Multiple license types
There are three types of multiple licenses:
- Per named workstation enables you to install a software application on a given number of identified workstations. For example, a license for an office automation suite that can be installed on 1,000 workstations.
- Per named user enables access to an application or database for a given number of users. For example, a license enabling access to a database for 500 named users.
- Per concurrent accesses enables a specified number of concurrent accesses to a database. For example, a license enabling 1,000 concurrent users access to the database.
For each multiple license, Service Manager has a Rights field, which specifies the number of:
- Workstations where you can install the software
- Named users
- Concurrent users
Software counters use these values to verify that your company has not exceeded the number of installations or concurrent users granted by a license.
