What is OpenLM ?

OpenLM is a comprehensive license-management solution, designed to monitor and optimize the usage of concurrent (‘floating’) license software. OpenLM is capable of monitoring a wide variety of license managers, e.g.: FlexNet (FlexLM), Sentinel RMS, and DSLS.

Who was OpenLM Designed For?

Unlike other license management systems that only offer administration and license monitoring statistics, OpenLM also optimizes license usage in a unique manner that provides all personnel with useful license-related functions.

Organization managers:

• Know what you have: License inventory.
• Plan license maintenance and procurement of expensive licenses.
• Charge projects or business units for software usage time.
• Cut costs by dropping maintenance for licenses that are no longer in use.

Administrator view:

• Real time usage management and troubleshooting.
• Extract license usage statistics information and patterns.
• Roles and Permissions: Grant licenses according to specific Users’ permissions.

End User View:

• End users are not kept in the dark. They are informed about the status of denied licenses, and receive a License availability notification when a license becomes vacant.
• Who is using the license I need, and what are this person’s contact details?
