License activity details

A session-level table behind License activity: who held which license, from when to when, and how much of it was idle.

In the product this report is the License Activity Details sheet of the License Management dashboard. You also reach it by drilling through from License activity.

The License Activity Table provides a detailed view of individual user sessions, showing key information such as user details, session times, usage and idle durations, workstation info, and license specifics like vendor, server, license type, and feature version. It supports deeper analysis of license usage and user behavior.

Visualizations​

  • License Activity Details Table: Use the drill-through feature to access detailed user information from the License Activity Report by navigating to the License Activity Details Table. This table provides a comprehensive overview of each record, including the user's name, contact information, session start and end times, total usage and idle time, and workstation details. It also captures key license data, such as vendor, server, license type, feature version, and any borrowed status, along with project, group, and department affiliations. Use this detailed view for in-depth analysis of individual license usage and resource management.

  • Filters:

  • Date: A relative date filter. It defaults to Last 14 days and prints the resolved range underneath (for example, 2026/07/11 to 2026/07/24). Select another preset, or a custom start and end date, to change the reporting period.

  • Version: Users can select any version from this filter.

  • Server Name: Users can select any server name from this filter.

  • License Type: Users can select any license type 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.

  • Product Name: Users can select any product name from this filter.

  • Vendor: Users can select any vendor from this filter.

  • 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.

  • Project Name: Users can select any project name from this filter.

  • Session Length Category: Users can select any session length category from this filter.

  • Country: Users can select any user country from this filter.

  • Group Name: Users can select any group name from this filter.

  • Workstation: Users can select any workstation from this filter.

Interpreting this report​

  • 1 row is 1 session - this is the evidence layer. When an aggregate looks wrong upstream, this table shows which sessions produced it: who, from which workstation, holding which feature, for how long, and how much of that time was idle.
  • Idle Period against Total Usage Time is the per-session efficiency read. Sessions with hours of usage and near-equal idle hours are applications that stay open, not work in progress.
  • Borrowed = Yes explains sessions with no end time that outlive everything else - the checkout persists offline until the borrow window closes. Their dedicated analysis is Borrowed licenses.
  • The table exports cleanly, and start/end timestamps plus workstation and IP make it suitable for incident reconstruction and audits.
