Rational Publishing Engine licenses can either be floating user-based licenses or authorized user-based licenses. Rational Publishing Engine web services can consume only floating licenses. If only authorized user-based licenses are purchased, Rational Publishing Engine web services cannot use them, and document generation fails.
You have 10 floating keys. With a floating key, users can share licenses from a common pool. Five users are report authors, who are assigned the task of designing and creating document templates. 10 other users can generate documents based on the templates that are provided to them by the report authors. These 15 users share ten license keys.
