Reading the report
The following table lists all the columns that are available in the report. All of these columns are displayed by default.
Column name | Description |
---|---|
Compliance Cost (currency) | Shows the result of multiplying the
Shortfall/Availability figure by the
Price per right amount, as at the most
recent license consumption calculations.
|
Consumed |
The number of license entitlements consumed, as at the last compliance calculation, based on inventory imports. For unlicensed product installations, this number is the count of installations on active devices with the unlicensed products. For Oracle options, this is the count of active devices that have the instances with Activated and Used options. |
License Cost (currency) | The cost of the license in this row. This is the calculated result of the consumption displayed in the Consumed column multiplied by the Price per right displayed in this row. |
License Name | If the row stands for a license, this column will display the name of the license. If the row stands for an unlicensed product, this column will display "No License For Product Installations" or "No License For Used Option". |
License Type | The kind of license which determines what properties are available for the license, and how compliance is calculated for the license. If the row stands for an unlicensed product, the license type will display "N/A - Installation" as the count will not apply a license metric. |
Price per Right (currency) | The unit cost of one entitlement (or point, depending on the
license type). This cost is taken from the first available of the
following data points, from highest to lowest priority:
|
Product |
The name of the product with unlicensed installations or the name of the product covered by the license. |
Publisher |
The publisher for the licenses and products in scope. Note that for licenses, the publisher is calculated from the primary applications covered by the license to be consistent with the product’s publishers. |
Purchased |
The number of software purchases for the license. |
Shortfall/Availability |
Displays the result of the purchases (shown in the Purchased column) minus the consumption (shown in the Consumed column). A positive number means you have surplus entitlements, and a negative number means you are under-purchased. For points-based licenses, the value is the number of points rather than entitlements. |
Unlicensed Oracle Instances Using Option | The top eight Oracle instances that have the Oracle option in scope used but are not covered by a license. The goal is to give pointers to instances where the options are used without showing all (potentially numerous) instances. |
