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 low. Of the 12 licenses, 1 was used for just over 160 hours for the month, which is about approximately 27% utilization. The calculation for determining the percentage of utilization is:

Utilization = 100 * licenses used / hours monitored

In the above example, 615 full hours of reporting was performed, so the calculation for our example is:

100 * 160 / 615 = 26.0%

Note that the precise utilization percentage calculation is slightly lower than 27%, because the license server was down for short times during the month (downtime is not shown on the utilization history graph).

We can also see in the example that the amount of utilization drops consistently for usage of multiple licenses, with two licenses being used simultaneously only about 20% of the time, three being used for about 14%, and so on. Only 10 of the 12 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.
