Raw Consumption

The result of the most recent inventory import and license consumption calculation, Raw consumption shows the current points calculated for consumption on this license, taking into account exemptions for server roles and the like. It is a copy of the total of the Consumed column from the Consumption tab. This figure does not take into account the previous peak (high-water mark) of points consumed. However, if this figure is greater than the previous high-water mark that was last seen in the Peak consumed field, the peak value is updated to record this new high level, in which case the two displayed values are equal. It is also quite common for Raw consumption to be less than Peak consumed.
