Visualizations

  • License Procurement Details Table: This page presents a structured table containing comprehensive License Procurement Details. It captures key information related to the acquisition and status of software licenses across the organization. The table includes data such as license servers and vendors, detailed feature and product names, associated license keys, and critical lifecycle dates-such as the license issue date, activation (start) date, and expiration date. Additionally, it provides visibility into the total number of licenses issued (quantities), their respective versions, and license types. The inclusion of expiration indicators helps track which licenses are active or expired, supporting improved compliance and renewal planning.

Values displayed:

  • Server Name

  • Vendor

  • Feature Name

  • Product Name

  • Additional Key

  • Issued Date

  • Start Date

  • Expired Status: Treat blank expiry dates or dates after December 31, 2030 as Permanent. Treat future expiry dates on or before December 31, 2030 as Not Expired. Treat expiry dates before today as Expired.

  • Expiration Date

  • Quantity

  • Version

  • License Type

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Asset Info: Users can select any asset info 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.

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

Interpreting this report

  • This is your license inventory as OpenLM knows it - what you bought, in what quantity, and when it expires. It is the denominator for every utilization discussion: other reports compute their usage percentages against the quantities recorded here.
  • Expired Status does the date arithmetic for you (permanent when the expiry is blank or past 2030, otherwise expired/not-expired against today). Filter for entries expiring inside your budget cycle - those are the renewals to decide on, and License utilization tells you whether each is worth renewing at full quantity. Version 25's procurement window flagged approaching expirations in red for the same reason.
  • Quantity here versus observed peak usage in License usage details is the fastest over-provisioning check - a 20-seat entry whose feature never exceeded 8 concurrent users is a concrete renewal saving.
