14.4.1 Checking the license usage status (Owned License List)

By using the Owned License List job menu, you can total the number of software licenses held (owned licenses), the number of software licenses being used, and the number of available software licenses. You also use this job to check the license usage status. If licenses are applied to downgrade software, their numbers are also totaled.

To total the usage status of licenses, start from the Owned License List window, which is displayed by clicking the Owned License List job menu. The following figure shows the Owned License List window.

Figure 14‒24: Owned License List window

From the Owned License List window, this job totals the software assets that are in the active status and within their valid usage period.

If nothing is displayed in the Date of summary search condition

Owned License List totals the license usage status on the basis of existing totaled results. If nothing is displayed in the Date of summary search condition, you must first perform totaling from the Totals List & Execution window. For details about performing totaling, see 14.4.10(1) Performing totaling.

How to interpret the totaled results

A hyphen (-) in the License category column identifies software whose license information has not been registered or whose license type is Other.
A hyphen (-) in the Owned and Available columns identifies an unlimited license owned by the local group.

This also applies to freeware that is owned by the local group.
If a single software asset name corresponds to multiple installed software names, its usage count is 1.

For example, installed software names AA and AB both correspond to software named A. If software AA and AB are both installed on a computer, the usage count for software A is 1.
The number of license keys assigned is displayed under Assigned. However, Assigned is set to be hidden by default. To show Assigned, you must edit the search results list of Owned License List in the Customize Job Windows job menu. For details about configuring items for display in the search results list, see 11.3.6 Setting the items to be displayed in search results.
