Info

This page covers information about how to determine license usage in the License Statistics UI for Licensing Model 2013.

Licensing Model 2025 is now the default for License Statistics v7.0 and newer. Licensing Model 2025 is not supported by License Statistics versions older than v7.0, and Licensing Models 2019 and 2013 are deprecated as of v7.0. However, according to the rules described in the License Transition section:

For information on switching from an older licensing model to a newer licensing model, see License Transition

The Licensing page under the Administration section is divided into three tabs:

Usage

Contains gauge charts that show current usage of your License Statistics license 
HistoryContains reports that show historical usage of your License Statistics license
ManagementContains options for managing your License Statistics license, including activation

Using the License Usage and History pages for Licensing Model 2013 is described below. The Management tab is the same for all licensing models; see License Management for information on using this tab.

Usage 

To see license usage information, click the Usage tab at the top of the Licensing page.

The Usage tab includes information for Users, Hosts, License Servers and Harvesting agents. When license usage is within your license limits, the gauge charts will be green, as illustrated below.

As shown below, you can easily see when your license limits are exceeded or nearing threshold (90% and above), indicated by red in the gauge charts, as illustrated below for the Users and License Servers gauges. 

The Hosts gauge reports the number of hosts monitored for the entire database. The Total value is 125% of the Users gauge's Total value, which is the threshold unless a High Performance Computing (HPC) license is being used. 

If an HPC license is in use, the threshold on allowed number of Hosts is lifted, and the Hosts information will look similar to the following illustration. 

If there are no Harvesting Agents included in the license, the Harvesting Agents information will indicate "No License," as shown in the above illustration.

Info
  • Both Realtime and Imported license details are available. In this case, there is also a panel displaying values needed to switch the licensing to the Licensing Model 2019.
  • The Hosts information is not included.

The License Usage History chart reports historical usage of the License Statistics license.

You can limit the information to only the users/hosts who are new (were not included in usage for previous days) by toggling on Show only new users/hosts

The License Usage History chart includes the following information.

  • Number of users or user-hosts for the last 14 days
  • Number of maximum concurrent license servers in each day

User History grid

The User History grid displays license usage history up to the date selected in the License Usage History chart (current date by default). 

A User History grid with user-host pairs displays license usage history for 14 days (by default) prior to the selected date (or current date if none is selected) up through the selected date.
