The collected software usage data is presented in various reports. You can see a high-level view of the software items in your environment and compare their usage to one another (Operations > Software management > Inventory reports > Applications > Windows > Software usage) or analyze a particular software and the devices in which it is used (Open a managed software item and select Software usage tab from the left pane).
Notice! Usage information is shown only for managed software that is in active status. Additionally usage information is shown only from devices that are in active or spare status and have monitored software installed.
