License usage

About this task

Use this procedure to monitor license usage and compliance with your purchased license limits. This information is useful to keep track of how often you are using and acquiring a license, and also the number of times you are exceeding your license limits. If you are exceeding your license limits regularly or excessively, it may indicate that you need to expand your licensing agreement or upgrade your system.

You can display license usage based on a range of dates and license types. The license types include:

  • Standard

  • Advanced

  • Video

  • Transcoding

  • Client Enablement Services (CES)

  • Premium

Licensing statistics are collected hourly and are displayed on a maximum per day basis.

You can export and save the license usage information into a CSV spreadsheet.
