Software Metering
Software metering is a component of the ConfigMgr client that passively collects software usage statistics based on a defined rule set. Rules are defined either manually or automatically based on ConfigMgr inventory data. The usage statistics from software metering can be used in reports to help administrators understand
• The number of licenses actively in use
• The most active time of day for software use
• The regular users of software
• Whether software is still in use
