Retired Licenses with Active Payment Schedules Report
The Retired Licenses with Active Payment Schedules report lists licenses that are marked as retired, but which still have active payment schedules. Generate this report on a regular basis to optimize your license position by identifying licenses which your enterprise may be paying for unnecessarily. Operators with a focus on purchasing or licensing may choose to run this report to identify where money is being wasted, or to identify licenses which have been inappropriately retired. These operators may choose to run the report monthly or any other regular time period which aligns with payment schedules.
