To see a report on usage history for a given license server, select the Usage History tab from the License Servers page.

General Information

The Usage History report shows statistics for license usage during any period that usage was tracked. The settings you make on this page (for example, filters) are retained for the next time you log into License Statistics.

To choose the license server for which to view statistics, use the License Server pick list in the Select License Server section at the top of the page. You can select either an individual license server or a license server group from the License Servers pick list.

The Usage History report lets you 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.

Types of grouping (time units)

Depending on your needs, you can group values from specified fields together. For example, license usage information can be limited to a month and within a month displayed based on daily usage. Grouping works in the same way for all other available time units, for any set of selected values.

 

Feature Usage Information

The feature usage information includes the following:

Column NameDescription
Date

A particular day or period of time, whose format depends on the selected grouping option.

  1. Hour: YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm; for example, 2014-12-03 14:00.

  2. Day: YYYY-MM-DD; for example, 2014-04-13.

  3. Week: YYYY-MM-DD - YYYY-MM-DD; for example, 2014-11-10 - 2014-11-16 (starts from Monday).

  4. Month: YYYY-MM; for example, 2014-04.

  5. Quarter: YYYY-Q[1-4]; for example, 2014-Q2.

 

 Min UsedThe minimum number of licenses used in a particular time period.
 Avg Used

The average usage (Avg Used column value) is computed differently depending on how the usage history data is grouped. 

  • When data is grouped by Day, the average usage is the weighted average of licenses used on a particular day. For example, if you use 1 license for 8 minutes, then 6 licenses for 2 minutes, the average usage is calculated as follows: (1*8 + 6*2) / (2+8) = 2.

  • When data is grouped by Week, the value displayed is the mathematical average of the weighted averages.
 Max UsedThe maximum number of licenses used in a particular time period.
Min BorrowedThe minimum number of licenses borrowed in a particular time period.
Max BorrowedThe maximum number of licenses borrowed in a particular time period.
TotalThe total number of licenses available for the feature or Unknown if there are only denials in a particular time period.
Hours Used 

The number of hours at least one license of a particular feature was used and/or borrowed.  

(Note that this column is not available with Hour grouping.)
 DenialsThe number of denials that occurred for a given feature. 

Date Range

The Start Date, End Date, and Time Interval fields for which you wish to display license usage are interdependent, i.e. modifying the Start Date field affects the End Date field, depending on the selected Time Interval option. If you select the "Custom" option in the Time Interval options, then both fields (Start Date and End Date) can be modified; however, you will not be able to select the day earlier than the Start Date on the End Date field, and later than the End Date on the Start Date field, because the value on the other field will be automatically adjusted.
