ELM Floating License Usage Reporting improvement

I need to report budget-owners within the Inalfa Group globally about floating license usage during the last full month. We are currently entitled to 20 concurrent users, with an overdraft to 25. My internal customers want to know the trend in usage & whether they need to expand budget to allow for more licenses. Current jts-admin, server tab, license reports shows a very limited and nearly un-useful report. ClearObject have maintained until September 8, 2021 a far more usuable report as shown in attached email made from https://sunlight.oncloudone.com/usage/ . I made IBM ticket TS007034663 first to have this improved, but I was finally advised to create this idea.

    There are currently no plans for providing this functionality within ELM in the next 18-24 months, so this item will be rejected for that reason. However, tracking license usage for SaaS deployments is generally the responsibility of the managed service provider, so one recommendation is to request they provide that functionality for the platform.
