Real-time usage reporting
License Statistics real-time usage reporting works by gathering real-time data and usage statistics at specified intervals and storing the information in a MySQL database. It gives you knowledge about current activity so you can answer questions about who is using the software now, which licenses are over-utilized, who cannot access the software, which license servers are down, and so on, all in real time. With real-time usage reporting you can easily see a trend over time, and for most applications, the results average out.

Imported usage reporting
Imported usage reporting is useful for when you need to reliably generate usage statistics for applications that run for a very brief period of time (such as compliers), and when you must have 100% accuracy in the produced results. These reports are also particularly helpful for companies that do back-billing or pay-per-use billing. Additionally, since imported usage reporting does not require a connection to the license servers, it can be used for:

Denial mode
Both for real-time usage reporting and imported usage reporting, sometimes specific data is missing that show denials of license requests. This data is normally not gathered by most license servers and has to be imported separately in License Statistics. For this, License Statistics provide the denial mode.  

The available license stages are focused on the different customer neeeds.

Small Business license
This license stage is adapted for SMBs with up to 100 monitored users and/or 5 license servers.

Corporate license
A corporate license is adapter for companies with up to 1.000 monitored users. There is no limitation of monitored license servers.

Enterprise license
A enterprise license is adapter for companies with more than 1.000 monitored users. There is no limitation of monitored license servers.

License Statistics includes the following add-on application:

Usage Client
Usage Client lets you monitor standalone application usage in the same manner as for floating license applications. For companies that have hundreds of users with standalone licenses, learning about how those licenses are used – or not used – can have a significant impact on ROI.
On the client machines, the startup process for monitored applications is rerouted to the Usage Client, which will then start up the application. Usage Client integrates easily with most applications, allowing you to monitor standalone licenses along with floating licenses.
