Analyzing the evaluation results

The overall results of a license compliance evaluation are displayed in the Dashboard tab of the licensed software via a number of charts.

  1. Select the Software License Management in the left tree hierarchy.
  2. Select the subnode for the licensed software, for example Microsoft Office 2010 in the left window pane.
  3. Select its Dashboard tab in the right window pane.
     In this view four charts are displayed which provide information about the licensed software and all its members and their respective compliance. Balloon tips are available for each chart displaying explanations.
  4. Move your cursor over the Licenses chart:
     This chart displays the situation of the licensed software with regards to the purchased license(s) for all assigned objects, that is, all device groups as well as all individually assigned devices. It displays the absolute numbers for the different license status values:
  • Installed / Exceeded :
     the number of remaining licenses. If no more licenses are left, this bar is labelled Exceeded
  • In Use :
     total number of licenses that were used at least once. This will always be 0 if you are not monitoring the usage of the software via an application list. If you move the cursor over one of the bars it displays the exact number for each status.
  1. Now move your cursor over the Authorization chart:
     Here you can see the repartition of the assigned devices according to their license authorization. These numbers are the cumulative of all devices that are assigned via one or more groups and includes also individually assigned devices. If you move your cursor over a pie part a label displays the number of devices on which the software is authorized, respectively unauthorized with the corresponding percentage value.

  2. Now move your cursor over the Compliance chart:
     In our example the general status is Compliant therefore all devices are compliant on which the software is not installed. Any devices on which the software is installed are Not compliant . A label displays the number of compliant/not compliant devices with the corresponding percentage value. 

    Note:

    The Usage chart is of no interest yet as we have no data yet to follow up the software usage over some time.
