Term License Consumption details (by application)

Term license report lists all applications that were used during selected term.

Selecting a product opens a Term License Consumption Details page that shows when and how many licenses of a specific product was used and how much of it was excess usage.

Selecting a specific usage date opens usage details by hour and indicates a peak usage hour – the time when a concurrent peak occurred. It also shows which machines generated usage.

Selecting a specific usage hour opens it in 10 minutes intervals to show when exactly the usages happen and overlapped.

*It is Bentley’s policy to use the 10-minute interval as our most granular time segment: each hour is split into 6 equal intervals (0-9 minutes, 10-19 minutes, etc.). All commercial programs are built using this base data or some higher-level aggregate. It also shows which machines generated usage.
