How is engineering licensing different from traditional licensing?
Traditional | vs | Engineering |
Installation | License Allocation | Allocation by the license manager |
Months | License mobility | Seconds |
Install/user/processor | Metrics | Concurrent use |
End user compute/datacenter discovery | Discovery sources | License management servers |
Why choose OpenLM integration into ServiceNow?
Increased visibility: the combines solution gives you complete view on usage and spend on engineering software by supporting all license models
Data-rich reports: everything you need to see the effective license position of the engineering licenses in a single common report format in the familiar interface. The license utilization data is provided by OpenLM, the interface by ServiceNow: license activity, usage, alerts, denials and much more
Automated workflows: harvest licenses sitting idle on the end user’s workstation, allocate licenses as you want and notify engineers of license availability.Â

Manage your entire license portfolio in one place. OpenLM integration with ServiceNow.Â
Helps you gain complete visibility and optimize engineering software portfolio by having a clear view on what you own, how those licenses are being used and helps you close the gaps so you can reduce costs.Â
How engineering licensing works
- Logging into multiple license management servers to monitor license consumption and product usage data for each license is burdensome.
- Collect information automatically with OpenLM and feed that data into ServiceNow.
ServiceNow normalizes the collected data and reconciles it with the entitlement records.
OpenLM provides you with the essential license monitoring capabilities and reports you need to actively manage all engineering software licenses.
OpenLM integrates with 70 license managers such as as FLEXlm, IBM LUM, Sentinel, IBM etc., bringing that information into ServiceNow software asset management solution.Â
What is Software Asset Management (SAM)?
- The practice of managing and optimizing purchase, deployment, maintenance, utilization, and disposal of software applications.
- Organizations often lack visibility and control of software license processes through their lifecycle
- What software do you own?
- Are you buying what you need?
- Are you using what you have?
What is Software License Management (SLM)?
- Brings visibility on your engineering software licenses
- integrates with a variety of license management servers in your environment
- Creates the common ground for reporting
- It acts as a single system of record
- Collects product usage data
- Supplies the data on
- License consumption
- Denials
- Optimization opportunities
- Potential savings
