The User History grid shows the username, hostname and start and end times the feature was used. If the user still has the feature checked out, the End Time will state "Still in use."Note: The

User History grid versus Usage Per User report

does not include data for number of licenses the user checked out. When a user checks out a license, the License Server license server assigns an identifier for the checkout called a Session ID. The user can check out more than one license from the same host per Session ID, so the User History grid shows can only show only a single row for each user/host pair. The User History grid cannot be used to monitor the maximum used/borrowed licenses or hours used/borrowed. To get a report on this type of usage data, use the Usage Per User report.

For example, the following scenarios are handled differently in the User History grid versus the Usage Per User report:

ScenarioUser History grid resultsUsage Per User report results
User_A checks out 4 licenses at one time using Host_1.One row lists the User_A, Host_1 pair. The data does not include number of licenses checked out.One row lists User_A, aggregated by Username. Includes number of licenses used at the same time (4) in the "Max Used" column.
User_A checks out 1 license using Host_1, returns the license 10 minutes later, then checks out the license again 5 minutes later. One row lists the User_A, Host_1 pair. The data does not include number of licenses checked out.One row lists User_A, aggregated by Username. Includes number of licenses used at the same time (1) in the "Max Used" column.
