Adobe Products Reconciliation Reports

The Adobe Products reports are similar to the Product Version Summary report, but with a focus on Adobe products that have been discovered and licensed within your organization.

Adobe Products and Versions Report

Adobe Products and Versions

The Adobe Products header report is a pivot chart that is grouped by License Metric.  It provides information such as:

  • The Licensed Product and Version
  • OSE License count
  • Seat License count

The Licensed Product Version fields can be expanded to show a breakout of all of the included versions of the Adobe product.

Additionally, clicking on the License count for a specific Adobe product will drill down into a report that shows the individual License Liabilities for that product:

All Adobe Products

All Adobe

The All Adobe Products report provides a high-level overview of the liability of Adobe licenses assigned within the organization. It highlights the areas of over- and under-licensed discovered Adobe assets, allowing you to know where the critical liability issues are that need to be addressed first.

Important Adobe-centric information provided in this report:

  • Publisher and Friendly Name of the software product.
  • License Metric - The type of license of the specified product.
  • Software Detected - A count of the Adobe products discovered by version.
  • Liability SKUs (stock keeping units) - A count of the Adobe product SKUs discovered in the organization.
  • Owned SKUs - A count of the licenses owned based on imported license data.
  • Owned vs Liability - The difference between the Liability SKUs vs. Owned SKUs. Provides an idea of the number of installed Adobe products that may or may not have a license assignment.
  • Assigned SKUs - A count of the SKUs that are assigned to a given Adobe product.
  • Owned vs. Assigned - The difference between the number of licenses that are owned as related to the number that have been assigned.
  • Liability w/o Assigned - A count of Adobe products discovered in the environment that do not have a license assignment.
  • Cost to Become Compliant - The cost necessary to purchase remaining license metrics to bring the specified Adobe product to compliance.
  • Cost of Excess Licenses - The cost of unused licenses in the organization. This represents potentially-recoverable costs.

Acrobat

Acrobat Product Report

Information about Adobe Acrobat is one of the more common requests. Therefore, an Acrobat-specific report has been provided. It has the same information as the All Adobe Products report, but showing only Adobe Acrobat, broken down by major version, thus helping make more focused licensing decisions. Other Adobe Applications can be created specifically, or the Filters can be modified to change the information returned.
