How to list License Activation Time Stamps

[Mark_L]

NI has informed us that we have recently increased our number of Unique Disconnected Clients.  This has brought me to try to determine when any of our licenses have been activated.  

I can show reports mostly on hours of license use.  I am looking for a bit more information.

1) Would someone show me how to determine when a license is activated (that is when it was first given permission)?

2) Or would someone show me how to list which licenses have been activated for a certain month?

thanks

Hello.

My best recommendation to obtain this data from the VLM tool is to expand the date range for your reporting to see the month when the license first was used.  The Client Activity report will show you usage by client.  Extend the date range to find out when the client first started to use the license.  The license activity can show you similar information by license.

If you have several you are looking for we can likely help you with the information we have at NI.  Contact us at agreements@ni.com for help.
