The Licensing page under the Administration section is divided into three tabs:
| Contains gauge charts that show current usage of your License Statistics license | |
| History | Contains reports that show historical usage of your License Statistics license |
| Management | Contains options for managing your License Statistics license, including activation |
Using the License Usage and History pages is described below. The Management tab is the same for all licensing models; see License Management for information on using this tab.
To see license usage information, click the Usage tab at the top of the Licensing page.
The Usage tab contains different information depending on your licensing model. Licensing Model 2025 includes information only for Users and Harvesting Agents, while Licensing Model 2019 and 2013 include information for Users, Hosts, License Servers and Harvesting agents.
When license usage is within your license limits, the gauge charts will be green, as illustrated below.
As shown below, you can easily see when your license limits are exceeded or nearing threshold (90% and above), indicated by red in the gauge charts, as illustrated below for the Users and License Servers gauges. <replace image with 2025 version>
If there are no Harvesting Agents included in the license, the Harvesting Agents information will indicate "No License," as shown in the above illustration.
To see license usage history information, click the History tab at the top of the Licensing page.
The History tab contains different information depending on your licensing model, as described below.
The History tab contains a License Usage History chart and User History grid.

To see license management options, click the Management tab at the top of the Licensing page. The Management tab contents are the same for all licensing models.
This tab contains three sections to help you manage your License Statistics license, as described below.
Under the License Activation section, the Activation Key field displays the key currently in use, or if the license has no associated activation key (as is the case for trial licenses), a series of X's is displayed as a placeholder for the key.
The new activation will replace the previously used license.
The License Upload section lets you upload a license file directly in cases where activation is not possible or is not preferable; for example:
The new license upload will replace the previously used license.
The License Preview section shows the date and time that the license was last updated, and after a new license has been activated/uploaded, displays the content of the current license (for informational purposes only).
A popup notification will alert you if you are reaching your licensed limit for users/hosts. The notification is activated at 80%, 90%, and 95% usage thresholds, as those thresholds are exceeded. For example, after exceeding the 80% threshold, a notification similar to the following will popup on the screen:
You can:
A new notification will appear if a higher threshold is exceeded, regardless of dismissal. For example, if you dismiss a notification for reaching the 80% threshold, a new notification will appear within that dismissal period if the usage exceeds 90%.
