When logging in to the new GLS portal, licenses usage statistics are displayed at the start screen.

License usage report section

To make it easier to get an overview of

license usage, there is a report section
that can filter license usage per
account and product as well as limited
to a time period.
This gives you proper tools to make
your license usage more effective.
More filtering options may be added
later on.

Prepare yourself

To avoid downtime, prepare yourself

before the migration weekend:
• Make sure all devices are correctly registered.
• Make sure all licenses are mapped to the correct
device.
• Inform users that a manual license synchronization in
License Control Center (PC) or TEMS License (Android)
might be needed after the GLS system has been
updated.
