  1. Launch NI Volume License Manager and select Reports » License Allocation.
  2. In the Date Range section, select a start and end date.
  3. In the Report Parameters section, select the custom field on which you want to base cost allocation.
  4. In the Actions section, click Generate Report.
  5. (Optional) In the Actions section, click Export Report and select a format to export the report. Refer to Exporting Reports for more information.

More information about the report:

  • Seats assigned to clients that do not have a custom field value specified are displayed as "(Blank)"
  • Seats not assigned to a client are displayed as "(Unassigned)"
  • Clients always reflect their current custom field value. For example, if a client's department changes during the year, its assignment counts against its new department for the entire year.
Note Only licenses that have been assigned at least once during the specified time period appear in this report.

Refer to Customizing Reports to learn how to customize NI VLM reports to reflect how you want the data to appear.
