2.4.10 Totaling licenses (Totals List & Execution)
By using the Totals List & Execution job menu, you can perform totaling, so that the information can be used for all license management work.
The license management jobs that extract required information on the basis of a set of totaled results include Owned License List, Excess License List, Unauthorized Usage List, and Unknown Usage List.
By default, only the administrator can execute Totals List & Execution.
To total licenses, start from the Totals List & Execution window, which is displayed by clicking the Totals List & Execution job menu. The following figure shows the Totals List & Execution window.

You can also total licenses periodically by using the Notice of license excess task or the Totals number of licenses task registered in the Windows Task Scheduler.
Date of summary displays a history of totaling including totaling executed by tasks. To refresh the displayed information to the most recent status, click the Refresh button.
For details about using a task registered in Windows Task Scheduler to periodically perform totaling, see 5.9 Setting the tasks that are registered in Task Scheduler in the Planning and Configuration Guide.
- Note
-
If totaling is performed multiple times in a large system with several thousand devices, a large amount of old totaled results data might remain in the database, increasing the time required to search for, add, or delete information, reducing the performance of totaling.
If you have a large asset management system with several thousand devices, you should delete old totaled results periodically.
