Track your organization's named user license assignment data and plan your license deployment using License assignment reports.
Overview
License assignment data helps you track assigned licenses versus the purchased quantity. It's measured for all your applicable products since the last anniversary date or Enterprise Term and License Agreement (ETLA) start date. Refer to the common questions for any exceptions.
System admins see the license assignment data as graphs in the Admin Console's Insights tab. It helps the organizations (with ETLA) track their historical license assignments. Data is available in the Monthly view and Year-to-date view.
System administrators can also run a report at any time to download the data shown on the dashboard.
