Overdraft License Usage

Your vendor may have issued you some overdraft licenses in addition to the regular licenses. The overdraft licenses for a feature include the OVERDRAFT=``overdraft_count keyword in a FEATURE line. FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications reports on the availability and usage of overdraft licenses differently depending on the type of report.

In a Usage Over Time or High Water Mark report, the number of available licenses, the total number of available and overdraft licenses, and the number of licenses used are shown separately. Clearing the Show Available Licenses check box in Step 5 of the Create Report Configurations wizard for a Usage Over Time or a High Water Mark report will suppress both the line representing license availability and the line representing total license availability.

In a Usage Efficiency report, overdraft usage is denoted with an asterisk, “*,” next to the bar. Overdraft usage is also shown in the Type column of RIF output for a Usage Efficiency report. The Type column appears in RIF output only if there are overdraft licenses available or unlicensed usage.

In a Summary Barchart report, a Usage Summary report, or a Raw report, maximum availability and usage of available and overdraft licenses are not distinguished.
