| Some information on this page refers to License Statistics v5.14 or newer, which made the usage count of license reservations consistent across license manager types. If you are using an older version of License Statistics, see documentation for previous versions. |
License Reservations assign a license to a specific user name, so it cannot be checked out by another user unless an administrator reassigns the license to another user. limit license usage according to various parameters that define how a license can be used; for example, by which user(s), on which host(s), etc. The parameters that can be used to define reservations vary depending on the license server and may include the following:
- Dynamic
- User
- User Group
- Host
- Host Group
- IP
- Project
- Display
Knowing how many licenses are actually in use gives you more control over denials, gaps in license usage and under-utilization of licenses. Reviewing the License Reservation report helps you understand situations such as users being unable to check out a license despite only 2 out of 10 licenses currently being in use.
