The Feature Utilization grid shows license usage based on how many licenses were used for how long and the percentage of utilization for those licenses.
Looking at the utilization details in the example above, we can see that overall utilization is high. Of the 12 licenses, 1 was used for just over 160 hours for the month, which is approximately 27% utilization. The calculation for determining the percentage of utilization is as follows:
Utilization = 100 * number of hours for which a specific number of simultaneously running licenses were used / hours monitored
In the above For example, for 615 full hours of reporting was performed, so the calculation for our example isthe reporting and 160 hours during which a specific number of licenses were used, the calculation would be:
100 * 160 / 615 = 26.0%
where
160 is the number of hours for which a specific number of simultaneously running licenses were used
The Note that the precise utilization percentage calculation is may be slightly lower different than 27%26%, because the license server was may be down for short times during the month (by default the Include downtime checkbox is unchecked so downtime is not shown on the utilization history graph).
We can also see Looking at the utilization details in the example above we can see that the amount of utilization drops consistently for usage of multiple licenses, with two licenses one license being used simultaneously only about 20% 100% of the time, three four being used for about 14%93%, five for 68% and so on. Only 10 8 of the 12 10 total licenses were used at any given time, for less than half an hour for the entire month, and 9 licenses were used as rarely.
If this trend continues, it is a good indication that the number of licenses purchased at renewal time can be reduced from 12 10 to 8 or fewer, depending on how crucial access to the licenses is for your users' productivity.
