Monitoring license usage


To ensure that your license usage is in compliance with your purchased licenses, monitor the license usage by using the AR System Current License Usage form and AR System Historical License Usage form. You must enable the license tracking option to start tracking the usage. 

You can generate reports based on the users allotted to a specific fixed or floating license. These tracking mechanisms help you make decisions about optimizing license usage or purchasing additional licenses.
