Export a License Usage Report for vCloud Suite in the vSphere Web Client
In the vSphere Web Client, you can export a report of the license usage for vCloud Suite for a time period
and vCenter Server system. The report is exported in a CSV file that you can later open with third-party
applications.
The license usage data in an exported report contains the license usage snapshots that vCenter Server
collects every hour.
NOTE A tamper-detection feature in vCenter Server protects the license usage information. If the licensing
data in the vCenter Server database has been edited, you cannot export a license usage report.
