PPU Licenses History

The usage of Pay-Per-Use (PPU) licenses is determined by the peak number of concurrent license usage that is recorded during the month. You can track peak usage in the current month in the Site Analysis tab. For details, see Monitoring Site Usage.

At the beginning of each month, the number of used PPU licenses is subtracted from the total number of available licenses. If the remaining number of available licenses goes below the number of licenses you require, you can load additional licenses to meet the demand.

In the PPU Licenses History tab, you can view the number of available PPU licenses and the history of PPU license usage.

The information in the tab includes the following transactions:

  • New purchases of PPU licenses, increasing the number of available licenses.

  • The automatic recalculation of licenses at the beginning of each month, decreasing the number of available licenses.

The PPU Licenses History tab includes the following UI elements:

UI Element

Description

Date

The date on which a change in the number of available licenses is recorded. This occurs in one of the following cases:

  • Available licenses are calculated at the beginning of a month.

  • New licenses are added.
Delta

The number of licenses added or subtracted from the previous quota of available licenses. A Delta value is displayed separately for each module.

  • In the case of a calculation of available licenses, the delta displays a negative value, equal to the peak number of licenses that were used concurrently in the previous month.

  • In the case of adding new licenses, the delta displays a positive value, equal to the number of licenses added.
Available

The number of licenses available for concurrent use during the reported calendar month. An Available value is displayed separately for each module.

The number of available licenses is equal to the number of available licenses in the previous row, plus the Delta value in the current row.

The Available value can also indicate Unlimited, meaning there is no limit to the number of resources available.

Recommended to buy

A suggested number of additional licenses you should buy, assuming the same level of usage as in the previous month. A Recommended to buy value is displayed separately for each module.

This value is equal to the number of licenses used in the previous month (Delta), minus the current amount of available licenses. If the amount is less than zero, nothing is displayed.

Recommended to buy is not displayed if the number of licenses is unlimited.
