| Title | Perforce users need a TeamTrack licence to use TeamTrack features |
| Status | suspended |
| Priority | nice |
| Assigned user | Richard Brooksby |
| Organization | Ravenbrook |
| Description | TeamTrack issues cannot be assigned to a Perforce user unless the Perforce user is licensed as a Teamtrack user. This is correct according to the requirements, but it would be nice if it weren't the case. |
| Analysis | TeamShare insist on this. They are concerned that otherwise people would be able to use the P4DTI to work around their lack of TeamTrack licences. See our agreement [GDR 2000-08-18]. This is Perforce's job 5152. |

| History | 2001-03-16 GDR Created based on Perforce job. 2001-03-20 RB Explained that this is to spec, downgraded to nice, suspended. |
| Support | Advice for all releases. Symptom. In the TeamTrack integration, if you try to assign a job in Perforce to a Perforce user who doesn't have a TeamTrack licence (by editing the Owner field), then the replicator refuses to replicate it; it resets the Owner field and sends e-mail. Cause. To get the benefit of TeamTrack features, TeamShare insist that you buy TeamTrack licences. We agreed with TeamShare that the P4DTI would respect this policy; see [GDR 2000-08-18, 3.3.1]. Solution. Buy new TeamTrack licences for all users who need to use TeamTrack features (whether directly or via the P4DTI). |
