18.0 Configuring Usage Settings

There are two ZENworks Management Zone settings related to software usage. One setting enables software usage to be collected and the other setting determines whether usage data is displayed in the ZENworks Control Center interface or only in software usage reports.

To configure the settings:

  1. In the ZENworks Control Center, click the Configuration tab.

  2. In the Management Zone Settings panel, click Asset Management to display the settings.

  3. Click Usage Monitoring, make sure that the Enable Usage Monitoring option is selected, then click OK.

    If this option is not enabled, no usage statistics are collected from devices.

  4. Click Usage Display.

    You can decide whether or not to show usage data on License Management pages in ZENworks Control Center. Displaying usage data can cause the pages to load more slowly while the usage data is retrieved. For information about where usage data is displayed, see Section 20.0, Monitoring Usage.

  5. If you want usage data displayed on the License Management pages in ZENworks Control Center, deselect the Do not show usage on License Management pages option.

    or

    If you only want usage data available by generating software usage reports, select the Do not show usage on License Management pages option.

  6. Click OK to save your changes.
