You can view the history for servers that were added to License Statistics by importing denied request logs.
Note: In addition to gathering usage data, License Statistics lets you generate data for denied user requests (FLEXlm/FlexNet, Reprise License Manager (RLM) or IBM LUM license servers only).
Accessing License Statistics data
License Statistics runs an embedded http HTTP server that handles requests for HTML pages, which contain usage statistics tables and graphs, and makes the pages accessible to view and manage from a web browser. Web pages are automatically generated and updated, so no user interaction is required to generate and maintain the latest statistics.
...
Before using License Statistics, you must configure it for your site, including specifying the http HTTP server port. License Statistics runs as a service on Windows or as a daemon on Linux. Because License Statistics runs as a background process, it will run even when no user is logged into the License Statistics server machine.
