License Consumption Report

The License Consumption Report page (located under System Configuration) is populated if you have purchased Transact on the consumption-based model.

This topic includes the information on your image consumption to date for Transact, as well as any paid add-ons. It also shows whether you have opted into automatic consumption reporting.

How Ephesoft Transact uses this information

Ephesoft Transact uses the information collected in your consumption report to audit your image consumption. Data submitted to Ephesoft Transact contains no personally identifiable information and is limited to:

  • License ID

  • Date and Time of Snapshot

  • Image Consumption Count

  • Overage Image Count

  • Identification Image Consumption Count

All collected data is used in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Consumption reporting methods

As part of the terms of your consumption-based license, you are required to submit a report of your consumption data to Ephesoft Transact on a regular basis. There are two methods of reporting your consumption data:

  • Automatic reporting

  • Manual reporting

You can switch between automatic and manual reporting at any time. For more information, see dcma-telemetry.properties.

Automatic reporting

Automatic reporting is enabled by default with a consumption-based license. This means that Transact will automatically report your consumption data to Ephesoft Transact each day. By default, this report will be sent at 9:00 PM (according to your system time); however, this schedule can be configured in the dcma-telemetry.properties file.

To confirm if automatic reporting is enabled:

  1. Go to <Transact_Folder>\Application\WEB-INF\classes\META-INF\dcma-telemetry.
  2. Open the dcma-telemetry.properties file in a text editor.
  3. Confirm that the dcma.telemetry.auto.upload property is set to ON.

To disable automatic reporting, set the dcma.telemetry.auto.upload property to OFF and restart Transact. For more information, see dcma-telemetry.properties.

Manual reporting

If automatic reporting is disabled, you will need to manually submit your consumption report each month. The following steps describe how to manually submit your consumption report to Ephesoft Transact each month. This is required if you have opted out of automatic reporting. You will also need to perform these steps each time you are requesting a new consumption-based license.

If you have opted for manual reporting, submit your consumption report no later than 5 business days after the end of the calendar month.

  1. Select System Configuration > License Consumption Report.
  2. Select the appropriate month from the Monthly consumption report field.
  3. Click Download.
  4. Click Email.

    This creates a prepopulated email draft in your default email application.

  5. Attach the downloaded report and send it.

Note: If you need to send this report from another computer for any reason, send the downloaded report to report@license.ephesoftcloud.com with your account name in the subject line.
