The license usage reports, licenseReport and userReport, provide visibility into an organization’s CloudBees CI usage to ensure it is compliant with its license entitlements. These reports provide an accurate list of unique CloudBees CI users across all their controllers during a time period.
To try out these reports via the REST API endpoint, scroll to the report section of the CloudBees Software Delivery Automation swagger playground found here: https://<cloudbees-cdro-server>/rest/doc/v1.0/. See Using the RESTful API for complete information about accessing the CloudBees Software Delivery Automation RESTful API.
To try them out from a command line, see the licenseUsage commands. See CloudBees Software Delivery Automation command line access for complete information about command line access to CloudBees Software Delivery Automation APIs.
License report
The license report returns the license information details for a CloudBees CI controller or an operations center. When a CloudBees CI or operations center instance has several licenses, the one that applies is the last one, that is, the one with the newest timestamp sent from CloudBees CI. There can be only one license in existence per controller at one time.

User report
The user report produces a list of users based on the applied time filter. If the selected time period is undefined, it selects all users since the license started. A new user entry appears in the report when:
-
The user has logged in the CI system in the selected period.
-
The user has committed in the selected period and it has triggered a new build.
