Export a License Use Report
From the Licensing page in the vSphere Client, you can export a report for the license use of products for a
certain time period. The report is exported in a CSV file that you can later open with third party applications.
NOTE A tamper-detection feature in vCenter Server protects the license use information. If the licensing data
in the vCenter Server database has been edited, you cannot export a license use report.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that you have the Global.Licenses privilege.
n
Ensure that the vSphere Client is connected to the vCenter Server system.
n
Ensure that you have the vSphere Web Client installed and the vCenter Server system is registered with
it.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Client, select Home > Administration > Licensing.
2 Select the Reporting tab.
3 Click export.
The Export License Data window appears.
4 (Optional) If the vCenter Server instance that you are connected to is part of a Linked Mode group, leave
the default All vCenter Server instances value in the vCenter Server drop-down menu.
You should leave the default All vCenter Server instances value to export the license use for the entire
group. By exporting the license use for a single vCenter Server instance and not the entire group, you do
not receive information about the total use of license keys that are assigned to more than one asset in the
group.
5 Select a preconfigured or a custom time period for the license use report from the Time period drop-down
menu.
6 Click Export.
The export operation takes a few seconds.
7 In the Save Export File window, click Yes.
8 Browse to the location where you want to save the file and click Save.
The license use for products over the selected time period is exported in an CSV file. The CSV file is contained
in a .zip file that you can find in the location you specified.
License Use Data in an Exported Report
You can export the license use data for a certain period and for a vCenter Server system in a CSV file for later
analysis and reference.
The license use information that you view in the Reporting tab differs from the license use information that
you can export.
The license use information on the Reporting tab is aggregated data from the license use snapshots available
in the vCenter Server database for the period that you select.
