Feature usage status
A report that shows the current usage of each licensed feature. It helps in tracking utilization trends and making licensing decisions.
In the product this report is the Feature Usage Status sheet of the Active Analytics dashboard.
Feature Usage Status
Feature Usage Summary - Displays current license usage percentages, borrowed counts, and feature-level licensing details.
Visualizations
- Feature Usage Status Table: This table shows how each licensed feature performs. It lists the feature, the product and vendor behind it, the license server, version and additional key, the size of the pool, how much of it is in use, and the resulting usage percentage. Rows are ordered by usage percentage, so the features closest to saturation sit at the top, and the usage column is colour-scaled from amber to red.
Values displayed:
- Feature Name: Name of the software feature.
- Product Name: Product to which the feature belongs.
- Vendor: Vendor supplying the license.
- Server Name: License server name.
- Version: Feature version.
- Additional Key: Any extra licensing or configuration key associated with the feature.
- Total: Total number of licenses available for the feature. Two adjacent columns are both headed Total - the first is the size of the pool, the second is how many of those licenses are in use.
- Usage %: Percentage of used licenses relative to the total available quantity.
Fields the license manager has not reported read Not Available.
- Filters:
This sheet has no date filter - it reports the current state of each feature pool.
- Server Name: Users can select any server name from this filter.
- Vendor: Users can select any vendor from this filter.
- License Type: Users can select any license type from this filter.
- Additional Key: Users can select any additional key from this filter.
- Feature Name: Users can select any feature name from this filter.
- Software Name: Select a catalogued product from the SAM Catalog. The catalog normalizes publisher and product names, so filtering here groups license records that carry inconsistent raw license strings.
- User Name: Users can select any username from this filter.
- Child Username: OpenLM aggregates usage under a parent user account, so User Name shows the combined total for that person. Select a child username here to drill into a single account merged under the parent. See User aliases for how OpenLM builds the mapping.
- Group Name: Users can select any group name from this filter.
- Project Name: Users can select any project name from this filter.
- Product Name: Users can select any product name from this filter.
- Version: Users can select any version from this filter.
Interpreting this report
- Usage % is pool saturation at this moment. Rows at or near 100% have no spare capacity: the next request for that feature is a likely denial. The report sorts by Usage %, so the top of the table is your live watch list - cross-check those features in Denials.
- This is a snapshot, not a history (the sheet deliberately has no date filter). A feature can sit at 0% here and still saturate every morning at 9 AM - the hourly pattern lives in License usage.
- The 2 Total columns read: pool size, then seats in use. A 15/15 row and a 5/4 row both read as "high usage" by percentage, but they tell different procurement stories - the small pool might only need 1 more seat.
- Version 25 exposed the same measure as the Feature usage status widget in EasyAdmin; this sheet is its Platform successor.
