Syntax
versions-over-periods.bat {-days days | range} [-group group | -cluster name | -datacenter name | -resourcePool name ] [-period period]
The following table lists the options for this command.
Table 6.4. Options of usage-over-periods.bat
Option Description
-days number Specifies a date range in which the end date is today and the start date is the current date minus number of days.
For example, use -days 90 to specify an approximate date range of the last three months.
You must specify either the -days option or the two options to specify a custom data range (-startDate and -
endDate), but not both.
-startDate MM/DD/
YYYY
-endDate MM/DD/YYYY
Used together, these two options specify a custom date range. Use -startDate to specify the start date of
the report; use the form MM/DD/YYYY, such as 06/01/2012 for a start date of June 1, 2012. Use -endDate to
specify the end date of the report.
For example, to specify a date range between April 1, 2012 and June 30, 2012, use the following: -startDate
04/01/2012 -endDate 06/30/2012.
You must specify either the -startDate and -endDate or the -days option, but not both.

The output will list the specific cluster, resource pool, or data center for each license usage entry.
Possible values (specify only one):
• cluster

For example, to group by resource pool, specify -group resourcePool.
