Detailed Usage Reports & Software Metering for Admin Console
Hello,
As a system administrator, I would like to submit a feature request regarding visibility into Creative Cloud license usage within our organization.
Identified Need: Currently, we lack precise data regarding the actual software usage by our team members. It is challenging to optimize our license costs because we have no visibility into:
-
Adoption rates by application: Which applications in the suite are actively used and which ones are underutilized?
-
Per-user activity: The ability to identify inactive users or those whose usage does not justify a full license.
-
Usage volume: Access to time-based metrics (e.g., number of days used, launch frequency over a given period) to correlate license assignments with actual business needs.
Requested Feature: We would like to see an "Usage/Analytics" dashboard added to the Admin Console, featuring the following options:
-
Consolidated View: A global chart showing the most frequently used applications across the organization.
-
Detailed Per-User View: An exportable table (CSV/Excel) displaying, for each user, which applications have been activated and their usage frequency over a defined period (e.g., 30, 60, or 90 days).
-
Time Filters: The ability to select custom date ranges to analyze usage trends effectively.
Value Proposition: This feature would enable proactive and rational management of our IT resources. It would allow us to reallocate unused licenses to employees who truly need them, while ensuring better compliance and budget optimization.
We are confident that this data would be a major asset for enterprise administrators. Thank you for forwarding this request to your product teams.
Best regards,
Kevin
