Usage Stats Overview
Usage Stats not only allows you to manage software assets in your organization, it also allows you to monitor compliance with software licenses and the usage of computers and applications in your organization.
| Select Enable Usage Stats in the policy and apply this policy to all computers. Without the Usage Stats service, Deep Freeze Cloud cannot monitor software assets on your network. |
Click Usage Stats page. The following widgets are displayed:
• Computer Usage – computer usage graph that can be sorted by log in or user.
• Top Utilized Applications – list of the most utilized software. Shows which applications have the highest total usage, in terms of duration (across all computers and users), number of unique users and number of sessions (across all computers and users).
• Top Managed Software – managed software actively used by users and the number of computers where the software is installed.
• Most Over-Utilized Licenses – licenses that are deployed over the allowed numbers. This widget shows a bar graph of the licenses that are over-utilized. The over-utilization percentage is calculated as (License Utilized minus License Entitled) divided by the License Entitled. The red portion of the bar graph shows the licenses over-utilized.
• Most Under Utilized Licenses – licenses that are under-utilized. Shows the software programs whose under utilization count (License Entitled minus License Utilized) is the highest. The blank part of the bar graph shows the licenses unutilized and the green part shows the licenses that are utilized.
• Software License Compliance – % of software programs that are compliant vs. that are not compliant. If the license entitlement is greater than the number of computers where the software is installed, it is compliant. If the license entitlement is less than the number of computers where the software is installed, it is non-compliant. Click the red portion of the widget to show the list of software that is non-compliant. Click the green portion of the widget to show the list of software that is compliant.
• Software License Utilization – shows the Licenses Utilized / Licenses Entitled.
The data for the above widgets are displayed based on the settings on the Manage Software Assets page.
