Abstract

Various embodiments of systems and methods for analyzing software-usage information are described herein. Traffic numbers are obtained from data stored in a database using measurement objects that are associated with one or more keys. The measurement objects output the traffic numbers and the one or more keys are related to elements of the data. Identifiers and categories are assigned to the measurement objects. The categories represent attributes of a software product. A data structure comprising the identifiers, the traffic numbers, and the categories is generated and stored. The stored data structure and a header comprising one or more fields are used to generate a report.
