By using the Unused License List job menu, you can check for licenses that are not being used. This is useful for finding extra licenses to transfer to a group that does not have enough licenses, or for finding unnecessary licenses.
To check for unused licenses, you must use JP1/Software Distribution version 08-10 or later to acquire software operation times. For details about how to link to JP1/Software Distribution, see 5.1.1 Workflow necessary for linking to JP1/Software Distribution in the Planning and Setup Guide.
Check for unused licenses in the Unused License List window, which is displayed by clicking the Unused License List job menu. The following figure shows the Unused License List window.
