The information on this page refers to License Statistics v6.14 15 and newer, which reorganized reportsadded new columns of information to the Usage Per User grid. If you are using a version previous to v6.14, see Removed Features. Also note that for a limited time, the old menu structure in the License Statistics UI will be retained, so if you cannot locate what you're looking for with the new menu structure, you can try locating it using the old structure15, see documentation for previous versions.

The Usage Per User report under the Features: History section in the left navigation pane shows license usage for a selected type of aggregation, as described below. In this report, you can change time constraints as appropriate for your needs; for example, you can display license usage information based on monthly usage, but limit the displayed results to weeks.

To better understand possible aggregation scenarios, let’s look at the following example:

ColumnAggregation TypeScenario
Hours Used/BorrowedUsername

In our example, the results shown in the report are limited by Day.

Scenario 1 

The user uses 1 license for 8 hours.

Calculation: 8 hours = 8 Hours Used

Scenario 2

The user uses 2 licenses for 1 hour, then 10 licenses for 2 hours and 1 license for 2 hours.

Calculation: 2 hour  + 20 hours + 2 hours = 24 Hours Used

Max Used/BorrowedUsername

In this example, the results shown in the report are limited by Day.

Scenario 1

The user uses 2 licenses in the same time during the day.

Calculation: 2 licenses in the same time = 2 Max Used/Borrowed

Scenario 2

The user uses 1 license for an hour in the morning and 1 license for an hour in the afternoon.

Calculation: 1 license in the same time = 1 Max Used/Borrowed

Scenario 3

The user uses 1 license constantly for the entire day, while the other one is used only for 1 hour.

Calculation: 2 licenses in the same time = 2 Max Used/Borrowed
 

Max UsageUsername

In our example, the number of available licenses for a particular feature is 10.

Scenario 1

The user uses 2 licenses throughout the day.

Calculation: 2 licenses out of 10 licenses = 20%

Scenario 2

The user uses 5 licenses constantly for the entire day, except 1 hour when only 2 licenses are used. 

Calculation: 5 licenses out of 10 licenses = 50%

Scenario 3

The user uses 3 licenses constantly for the entire day, but additionally 5 licenses are used for 2 hours.

Calculation: 8 licenses out of 10 licenses = 80%
