Reports have been restructured and reorganized as of License Statistics v6.14. The contents of the Usage Per User report have been moved to Features - History - Usage Per User.

The Usage Per User report under the Reports section in the left navigation pane shows license usage for a selected type of aggregation, as described below. In this report, you can change time constraints as appropriate for your needs; for example, you can display license usage information based on monthly usage, but limit the displayed results to weeks.

...

You can group feature usage information by:

  • Day
  • Week
  • Month
  • Quarter
  • Year

titleExample

Let's assume the following values have been returned after grouping feature usage information by Day.

DateHours Used
20152019-04-0110
20152019-04-0220
20152019-04-0430
20152019-04-0640

When we choose to group the above feature usage information by Month and set the start date to April 4, 2014, we obtain the following values:

DateHours Used
20152019-0470

When we decide to set the start date to April 1, 2014, we get the following values:

DateHours Used
20152019-04100


Usage Per User grid

The Usage Per User grid includes the following:

titleExample

To better understand possible aggregation scenarios, let’s look at the following example:

ColumnAggregation TypeScenario
Hours Used/BorrowedUsername

In our example, the results shown in the report are limited by Day.

Scenario 1 

The user uses 1 license for 8 hours.

Calculation: 8 hours = 8 Hours Used

Scenario 2

The user uses 2 licenses for 1 hour, then 10 licenses for 2 hours and 1 license for 2 hours.

Calculation: 2 hour  + 20 hours + 2 hours = 24 Hours Used

Max Used/BorrowedUsername

In this example, the results shown in the report are limited by Day.

Scenario 1

The user uses 2 licenses in the same time during the day.

Calculation: 2 licenses in the same time = 2 Max Used/Borrowed

Scenario 2

The user uses 1 license for an hour in the morning and 1 license for an hour in the afternoon.

Calculation: 1 license in the same time = 1 Max Used/Borrowed

Scenario 3

The user uses 1 license constantly for the entire day, while the other one is used only for 1 hour.

Calculation: 2 licenses in the same time = 2 Max Used/Borrowed
 

Max UsageUsername

In our example, the number of available licenses for a particular feature is 10.

Scenario 1

The user uses 2 licenses throughout the day.

Calculation: 2 licenses out of 10 licenses = 20%

Scenario 2

The user uses 5 licenses constantly for the entire day, except 1 hour when only 2 licenses are used. 

Calculation: 5 licenses out of 10 licenses = 50%

Scenario 3

The user uses 3 licenses constantly for the entire day, but additionally 5 licenses are used for 2 hours.

Calculation: 8 licenses out of 10 licenses = 80%
