PVU or Processor Value Unit is a unit of measure to quantify licensing of software on different processor technologies and configurations. The License Compliance by PVU Report displays the number of procured software licenses, valid software licenses, and the count of PVU-based Allocated and Unallocated software installations. It also displays the total number of software licenses that are used and the number of software licenses that are in stock. Admin or Analyst can access the report based on access privileges assigned through roles. 

 Additional Information

This report provides information such as consumption details of all the PVU licenses. You can further drill-down the report to view the Allocated and Unallocated software license installation details, the customer-wise software installation counts, and the installation details for Internal and Publisher compliance. It is easy for Admin or Analyst to understand out of the procured licenses which are being optimally used. Using this report, it is easy to check and reassign the licenses to different teams where it will be helpful and save costs.
