Classic Reporting

FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications Classic Reporting is a valuable tool to aid you in analyzing license usage patterns. When you know how licenses are being used within your enterprise, you can make informed license management decisions about more licenses or the load requirements of your license servers.

FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications generates reports based on FlexNet Publisher license-usage activity from usage report logs on a per–vendor daemon basis. See Working with FlexNet Publisher Report Logs for more information on report logs.

The basic steps involved in generating a report include:

1.

Enabling FlexNet Publisher report logs. See Working with FlexNet Publisher Report Logs.

2.

Deciding on the type of report. See Report Types.

3.

Creating a report configuration or using a previously created configuration.

4.

Generating the report and viewing the result.

See Chapter 5, “Analyzing FlexNet License Usage”, in the 15.11 Concepts Guide, for ways in which you can analyze usage data and determine your licensing needs.

You can also use command-line interface reporting to design your own reports. See {Hyperlink}Appendix 1, Generating Command-Line Reports{Default ¹ Font} for more information.
