License Utilization & Licenses Settings

Last updated:

The License Utilization chart shows the number of employees using an application compared to the number of seats you are paying for. Additional utilization data shows more information, like the level of engagement and average time spent in the app. This allows you to see if you are getting the full value of your software subscription and make decisions about improving internal adoption or adjusting your vendor contracts.

The Licenses tab on the Settings page is pre-populated with the applications in your Adopt subscription. You must select the category and number of licenses available for each application. Add the number of licenses for each application either manually or via CSV upload.

 

Setting Category and Number of Licenses

Set categories

The categories field allows you to group your apps and understand how many apps you have in each category and how licenses are used. Select the appropriate category in the dropdown for each app.

 

Manually set numbers of licenses

The number of licenses is manually set in the Licenses tab in Settings. Click on the # of Licenses field to edit the number of licenses for an app and select the blue check mark to save. The value can be any number 0 or greater or "Not set" if an app does not limit access by the number of users.
