Possible explanations for denials in reports where the maximum available number of licenses were never used include:
For example, you start your report log when you have 10 licenses of FeatureA, then a few months later, still writing to the same report log, you add 10 more FeatureA licenses.

Even though all licenses for a feature are not checked out, they are not available to all users. If someone outside the reservation group tries to check out a reserved license, that user will be denied a license. License reservations are set in a vendor daemon's options file.
Even though all licenses for a feature are not checked out, a particular user may be excluded from using a license and gets a denial when trying to check out a license. Exclusions are set in a vendor daemon's options file.
