When doing server maintenance or Vista updates, I know of several companies who would rely on the "Last Activity" time in Logged On Users to make an educated guess on who was currently active in Vista and either ask them to save their work or move forward because they obviously were not currently active. With a recent update, this has been replaced with a "Claimed On" field that only tells me when Vista assigned a license to someone, not when they last used the system. I don't necessarily want to remove the "Claimed On" field, but I do want the "Last Activity" field to return. Viewpoint Support has suggested using the VA Application Log By User report to get the same information, but it is not nearly as quick or intuitive as the field that was removed.

The Last Activity field was very valuable to determine who was actively working when we needed to notify users of a unplanned system shutdown or determine which licenses weren't really in use. I'd really like to see Last Activity added back, thanks.
The License claimed on stamp does not appear to be accurate. This is a holiday morning and no one is in the office and only 2 people have left their machines on. The license count used is 28. The last activity stamp was much more accurate and valuable if unplanned maintenance is needed
We actively used the "Last Activity" date/time stamp until the recent upgrade from 2020R1 to 2021R1, during which it was removed. Please bring this back! Thanks!
