License usage dashboard license-usage-dashboard
You can view important information about your organization’s license usage through the Adobe Experience Platform License usage dashboard. Information displayed here is captured during a daily snapshot of your Platform instance.
License usage reports provide a high degree of granularity over your license usage metrics. The dashboard provides usage metrics for each purchased product, the consolidated usage of metrics in all production or development sandboxes, and the usage metric from a specific sandbox. The following Experience Platform applications can be tracked with usage metrics: Real-Time Customer Data Platform, Adobe Journey Optimizer, and Customer Journey Analytics.
This guide outlines how to access and work with the license usage dashboard in the UI and provides more information regarding the visualizations displayed in the dashboard.
For a general overview of the Platform UI, refer to the Experience Platform UI guide.

The data in this dashboard is displayed exactly as it appears at the specific point in time when the snapshot was taken. In other words, the snapshot is not an approximation or sample of the data, and the dashboard is not updating in real time.
