Licensing reports | PRA On-prem

What is Licensing reporting?

Licensing Reporting gives administrators direct visibility into how licensed capacity is being used across their environment. With the Licensing report, you can view concurrent license usage in real time, track time-based trends, and identify peak utilization periods. Reports can be viewed directly in PRA or downloaded.

How is Licensing reporting useful?

Licensing Reporting gives you a clear picture of your actual license consumption versus what you're entitled to. It also helps you stay ahead of potential issues. Seeing trends over time means you can catch when usage is creeping toward your limit, before it becomes a problem, or spot when capacity is going unused and find ways to put it to work.
