The Licence Usage Report allows administrators to monitor active system licences by identifying which PCs are currently logged into the system. While it does not specify individual users, this tool provides an overview of licence utilisation in Navigator.
Why Use the Licence Usage Report?
- Monitor Active Licences: Keep track of which licences are in use to ensure compliance with licence limits.
- Identify Potential Issues: Detect if licences are being used unnecessarily or if multiple sessions are running on unintended PCs.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Access the Licence Usage Tool:
- Navigate to Utilities > Licence Usage in your system.
View Active Licences:
- The screen will display a list of currently logged-on sessions, including:
- The PCs accessing the system (Host Name).
- The time the session was initiated (Licence Allocated).
- The screen will display a list of currently logged-on sessions, including:
Interpret the Data:
- While the tool shows which PCs are using licences, it does not provide the names of individual users. Ensure your team adheres to proper login practices to avoid confusion.
Key Features and Considerations
- PC-Specific Data: The report tracks sessions by the PC name or identifier rather than the user's personal details.
- Real-Time Monitoring: The data reflects the current state of active licences
- No User Identification: To attribute sessions to specific individuals, maintain a log of PC assignments or user logins separately.
Scenarios Where This Report is Useful
- Licence Limit Management: Confirm that the number of active sessions does not exceed your organisation's licence capacity.
- Troubleshooting Access Issues: Check if a licence is being used on an unintended or idle PC, potentially blocking access for others.
- Auditing System Usage: Review active sessions during audits or system checks to ensure compliance with licence agreements.
