You can select either an individual license server or a license server group from the License Servers pick list. Some pages also let you select "All" license servers/features for viewing. After selecting the license server/license server group, the Feature pick list will then contain all features within that license server/license server group for you to choose from. Some pages also let you select "All" license servers/features for viewing.

Feature identifiers

Throughout License Statistics, features shown in lists include a separate entry for each version of that feature, and are named feature_version. Versioning provides a finer granularity to report results, which is useful when you have multiple versions of particular features that you want to track individually. For example, under IBM LUM, the Catia MD2 application cost varies depending on version, so Feature Versioning can help when considering budget for one version versus another version.
