For example, run the usage-over-periods.bat command to display vFabric license usage over a period of time. You
must specify the start and end dates of the time period, as well as the period, such as monthly or yearly. Output is shown
after the command.
prompt> usage-over-periods.bat -startDate 09/01/2012 -endDate 09/4/2012 -period WEEKLY

License Monitoring: Command Reference
The following sections provide complete reference documentation for the following vFabric license monitoring commands:
• current-usage.bat
• current-versions.bat
• usage-over-periods.bat
• versions-over-periods.bat
In the sections, usage refers to the number of vFabric licenses that are assigned to a VM running one or more vFabric
components, such as vFabric tc Server, and capacity refers to the number of vFabric licenses you have purchased.
current-usage.bat
Displays the current vFabric license usage and capacity, organized by license key. By default, the command displays information
for the entire vCenter Server.
Syntax
current-usage.bat [-group group | -cluster name | -datacenter name | -resourcePool name ]
You can specify only one of these options: -group, -cluster, -datacenter, or -resourcePool.
