Multi-license consumption

This report identifies redundant software usage by flagging instances where a single user is simultaneously holding more than one unique license key for the exact same feature and product combination. The system identifies active sessions with no end time and retains only the most recent unique record per user, feature, product, and license ID to prevent double-counting. It then flags any user simultaneously holding multiple unique license keys for the exact same combination of feature, product, vendor, version, and additional key.

Multi-License Consumption

Detailed dashboard visualizing redundant active sessions where a single user consumes multiple unique license keys for the same feature and product.

KPIs

• Distinct Servers: The total number of unique license servers currently involved in redundant license transactions.
• Distinct Licenses: The total count of unique license IDs (keys) that are currently flagged as part of a multi-license consumption event.
• Distinct Users: Total number of unique individuals currently identified as holding multiple concurrent licenses for the same feature.
• Distinct Features: The number of unique software features or modules currently subject to redundant consumption.
