1. A computer-implemented method for determining feature utilization in a software-defined network, the method comprising:

  • determining an available feature set for the software-defined network, wherein the available feature set is based on a version of the software-defined network;

    determining features enabled on the software-defined network;

    comparing the features enabled in the software-defined network to the available feature set;

    generating a network profile score based on the comparing, wherein the network profile score comprises constituent feature scores for features of the available feature set, the network profile score representing a measure of a completeness of network configurations based upon the available feature set relative to the features enabled in the software-defined network;

    generating a projected score based on feature sets available by upgrading the software-defined network to a higher license version;

    presenting the network profile score and the projected feature score in a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface allows for receiving a user interaction for presenting the constituent feature scores for the features of the available feature set responsive to the user interaction.
