In the iZSAM GUI under the ASSETS tab using the "Product Use By Month" report screen, add an option called "Include Uninstalled/Deleted Software" with a check box. If that check box is checked, exclude the AND PI.UNINSTALL_DATE IS NULL AND P.FOBSERVEDELETED IS NULL AND S.FOBSERVEDELETED IS NULL from the where clause so that deleted history will be included in the resulting report.

This would be useful to allow the customer to see history of product usage following the deletion of the product loadlibs followed by an IQ Scan and IQ Import. Without this, the customer has to build and execute special SQL without these where clause conditions and then can only get the results in spreadsheet or XML format with no HTM option. We would like to have the ability to see the last 12 months of usage history when the product has been deleted in the formats available from the normal report writer panels.
