Viewing license usage information
In the Nuance Management Center, you can create a report and view data about how your
Dragon Group licenses are being used in your network by indicating how often and when
users last logged in to either the Dragon Client (Author licenses) or the NMS (Administrator
licenses).
You can view usage information for available license types. The following license types are
specific to Dragon Group:
n NMC Administrator
n Author license
.You can use the license usage information in the report to manage and optimize the use of
Dragon Group licenses in your organization. For example, if a user with a Dragon Group
license does not use the license frequently, you can re-assign the Dragon Group license to
another user.
You can also use the license usage information to plan the future license requirements for
your organization.
To generate and view the usage report, you must have the proper administrative rights in the
Nuance Management Server (NMS).
