Our computer lab license management tool is used across thousands of universities and colleges that are struggling with the over-deployment of software and want to curtail unnecessary IT spending. LabStats automatically monitors 200 popular applications like Microsoft Word, Office, Facebook, Google Chrome, and more. You can also add more applications manually.

Finding Unused Software with LabStats

The Power BI dashboard at LabStats allows you to monitor large swathes of data for extended periods. You can find unused licenses in the Power BI dashboard by following the steps below:

· Open the Power BI dashboard template

· Open ‘Peak Consistent Application Usage’

· Click on the column header ‘Application Utilization’ on the usage table

· Sort the results in descending order

· Applications on top of the list are the least used

You can also discover where excess licenses are installed by following the steps below:

· Click on ‘Peak Concurrent Usage by Group’

· Filter the list by ‘User Count’

· Select the application column in the title, which will then display usage by groups

· Click on a group to view the activity

As you find unused software licenses, you can use the data to reduce software strategically or renegotiate the license renewal agreement.
