Count license features and named-user licenses

You can generate a report file for license features or named-user licenses that are set on the server using command-line commands.

Example: show-licenses

You can generate a report file that shows the license features set on the server by using the show-licenses command from the command line.

config show-licenses –-expand-groups=true

The generated report from calling this command displays the following information:

User Name;Last Login;Enabled;Group Name;From Group;License;License Function

You can open the resulting report file using a Spotfire client. The file contains headers that explain the contents displayed in the columns. The column "From Group" contains the group on which the license is explicitly set. For every group that has a license set explicitly, if the --expand-groups option is set to true, the resulting groups and users are shown once. The report shows the sum of all license features (and functions).

Note: A user and license can occur more than once if the user gets licenses from more than one group with explicit licenses set.

This report also contains information about when each user last logged in. If you need more detailed information about how users are logging in and out of the product, see Action logs and system monitoring.

Note: Named-user licensing is based on functionality access; it does not matter whether users have used the functionality.

For more information, see the reference topic show-licenses.

Example: show-named-user-licenses

Alternatively, you can generate a report that lists the number of named-user licenses that are set on the server by using the show-named-user-licenses command from the command line.

config show-named-user-licenses

The generated report from calling this command displays the output similar to the following:

$ config show-named-user-licenses
License                     Users
--------------------------  -------
Spotfire Analyst            3
Spotfire Business Author    1
Spotfire Consumer           2
Spotfire Network Analytics  0
 
To extract detailed information about licenses and users, see the cli command 'show-licenses'

Regularly running this command can help with tracking how many named users are accessing Spotfire Analyst and Spotfire Business Author and Consumer. This command can help you stay in compliance with your contract with Spotfire during occasional audits. For more information, see the reference topic show-named-user-licenses.
