LicenseMonitor™ Track and manage your licenses

Benefits • Database driven with comprehensive yet easy-to-

use report generation capabilities.

• Report on peak and average usage, queued requests, and denials.

• Monitor hardware utilization and running processes.

• Supports virtually any license daemon, including FLEXlm™, Reprise™, LUM™, and even unlicensed tools.

• Reduce software costs by finding underutilized licenses, resulting in lower-cost licensing agreements.

• Manage license server files and control license daemons over the web.

• Forecast upcoming licensing needs.

Software Monitoring LicenseMonitor™ provides accurate and detailed information on software license usage at the user, project, and enterprise levels. It provides information about current users of licenses (user, host, feature, age, etc.) as well as historical usage and denial statistics.

LicenseMonitor™ utilizes a high-performance database schema to store historical data that is used to generate statistics about peak and average usage by feature, user, project, or custom group over any time period. Reports can be generated on-demand or in batch mode. All tabular reports can be exported in CSV format for use in spreadsheets.

Report by individuals or groups of users, interfacing with the LM_PROJECT variable or LDAP. LicenseMonitor™ is an open system that works with FLEXlm™, Reprise™, and other types of license daemons. Even unlicensed tools can be monitored.

Hardware & Process Monitoring LicenseMonitor™ also monitors hardware and running processes. For configured machines, items such as CPU load, uptime, RAM, disk space, network traffic, keyboard and mouse activity are monitored.

With process monitoring, a listing of all active processes on a machine is made available. This allows support personnel to discover run-away processes and memory consumers. Processes for unlicensed tools can also be monitored for reporting purposes.

Reduce Software Costs With usage statistics from LicenseMonitor™ :

• It is easy to find unused or underutilized licenses or computing hardware.

• Managers can make informed decisions about when and where to add software licenses or computing resources.

• Managers can implement department charge-back policies based on accurate license utilization data.

• Managers can negotiate better license agreements and save money on underused licenses.

Advanced Features LicenseMonitor™ contains advanced features that provide the most comprehensive monitoring solution available:

• Integrated web server.

• Wrap unlicensed tools, providing basic licensing capabilities with full utilization reporting.

• Monitor remote instances of LicenseMonitor™ to provide one place to monitor enterprise data.

• Report on true denials while false denials are filtered out.

• View table and graphical reports as a stand-alone page or even include them in your own web pages.

All of these features are included in the product; no additional purchase or software is required.
