Reporting on Feature Usage (Historical Feature Reports)
The following predefined feature-usage reports are available in FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications if you have Package 2011 or later installed for Flexera Analytics. These reports enable you to see how features are being used within your organization. You can identify usage trends, see which organizations are using features more heavily, and see which organizations are spending the most on feature usage.
Many of these reports can be run for hybrid organizational structures (by selecting a hybrid organizational structure in the Organizational Structure prompt). When you select a hybrid organizational structure, you can also opt to see usage for a specific license server (or for all license servers). See Hybrid Organizational Structures for information.
Before you can run Flexera Analytics reports, you must aggregate your usage data to populate the data warehouse. See the topic,
