# Annual Usage Overview

This report provides an overview of an application's monthly license usage and annual totals. It is a quick reference for understanding the license position, allowing you to determine if an application is potentially over or underlicensed by comparing available licenses (Max Available) with the peak usage (Max in Use) of licenses.
