The information on this page refers to License Statistics v6.22 and newer, which introduced using account "roles" to control permissible/forbidden license servers and reports. If you are using a version previous to v6.22, see documentation for previous versions.

You may want to hide the display of any license servers or features you are not interested in, particularly if there are a lot of features being monitored. Hidden license servers and hidden features will not be visible on any reports.

If you hide the display of any license servers or features, the reports showing usage statistics for these servers or features will be inaccessible from the License Statistics Dashboard.

The license servers and reports that you are permitted to view depends on your individual account permissions, set by a License Statistics administrator. Your administrator may also set up your account to initially hide certain permissible license servers and reports. However, you can change the visibility settings for your permissible license servers and report features at any time.

Changes to your visibility settings take effect immediately, and will be seen upon the next refresh of  License Statistics data. Your visibility settings persist for your logged-in account, so they will be the same each time you start License Statistics.

Hiding and showing license servers

To control which license servers are visible in License Statistics for your account:

  1. Click on the logged-in username shown in the upper right of the License Statistics application window, and select Visibility from the drop-down menu. The Visibility settings page opens.



  2. The License Server Visibility tab on the Visibility settings page lists every monitored license server, divided into a Visible License Servers grid and a Hidden License Servers grid. These grids also list information to help you identify each license server, including the vendor and license manager. 
  3. Select the license servers you want to hide from the Visible License Servers list by clicking anywhere in that license server's row (except on the name of the license server, which links to that license server page.) You can select multiple license servers at one time using the Shift and Ctrl keys.
  4. Click Hide to move the selected license servers to the Hidden License Servers list. 
  5. To show servers that are currently hidden, select the license servers from the Hidden License Servers list as described above, and then click Show to move them to the Visible License Servers list.
  6. You can click on any server in the Visible License Servers list to go to the page for that license server.

Hiding and showing features

To control which features are visible in License Statistics for your account:

  1. Go to Visibility settings as described above.
  2. Select the Feature Visibility tab.
  3. Move the features between the Visible Features or Hidden Features lists in the same manner as described for license servers above. (You can also hide a selected feature in any of the Features pages by clicking the Hide icon for the feature, located on the right side of the General Information area.)
  4. You can click on any feature in the Visible Features list to go to the page for that feature.

Visibility settings using license servers groups

Due to potential inconsistency of the reports, visibility settings are not applied to reports for license server groups.

If you hide a feature and/or license server, License Statistics reports will stop showing them. However, reports generated for license server groups containing hidden license servers or features will continue to include them to deliver consistent statistics.
