In the Analysis Workbench, you can view details about the licenses discovered in codebase files. When you click the icon next to a license reference on the Evidence Summary tab on the File Details tab, detailed information for a given license is displayed on the following tabs in the License Details window:

• A General Information tab that lists details such as the name of the license, its family, and the license priority assigned by Code Insight.
