All data for license server groups will be shown on reports regardless of visibility settings, so even if a feature or a license server is invisible for a particular user, that user will see usage information for it on reports. This ensures that all users viewing reports for a license server group see the same information instead of each seeing different information. 

 Example 

Let's assume we have three license servers: server PL in Poland, server US in the United States, and server DK in Denmark. Each server contains the feature Windows XP Floating (WXPF) and belongs to a license server group called XF. The XF license server group has the aggregated data gathered for each WXPF feature on PL, US, and DK.

...

Realtime data is reported for features on a license server group only if each aggregated feature has realtime data. This could lead to problems in grids that display realtime data (such as Most Utilized Features), because realtime data would not be reported if a feature on one of the license servers in the group is no longer being used but has historical data. To avoid such problems, any feature on a license server group that had realtime data that was previously aggregated is no longer included in the aggregation if its usage is older than 24 hours.

  Example

Using our above example of three servers that each serve the WXPF feature, let's assume that after a couple of years, we move the DK server to a Mac OS Mavericks Nodelocked (MMN) and we do not renew the licenses for WXPF. However, we do not want to delete the historical usage data for WXPF.
