- (Optional). After you perform a search, export a download of all licenses regardless of the checkbox selections. Use the Bulk Actions drop-down and select Export Details to download a .csv file of your search results. A count of the number of included licenses will be included next to the Export Details in parentheses.
- Larger exports may result in a timeout based on the amount of data they contain. If you experience this, narrow your license search and export a smaller set.
