How does it work?
You define conditions and rules for restricting application execution.
Users who have not been given access to software applications will not be able to start them.
If the maximum number of concurrent instances of an application has been reached, additional instances will not be allowed to run until the concurrent number has dropped
The activity of users using monitored applications will be logged and can be viewed in the OpenLM reports.
Features
Manager Control
Manage software that does have a license manager, but is not in the OpenLM license Managers list.
Central Policy
Add extra business rules to manage licences for a vendor and license manager that is monitored by OpenLM for Engineering Licensing, but needs additional monitoring. For example, you can prevent launching different versions of products which don’t conform to the Autodesk cascading mechanism.
Usage Reports
Tailor your entitlements, access and usage in accordance with your organization’s unique software policy.
BYOD & BYOS
Manage BYOD and BYOS within your organization, and keep compliant by preventing access without entitlement and usage of software that is not covered by your license agreement. OpenLM agent is required.
Instances
Restrict the number of concurrent licenses that can be running simultaneously for vendor software that does not limit users accessing additional licenses.
Permissions
Permit or deny access to licenses for a particular product based on location, working hours, workgroup and priority.
Benefits

- Apply additional conditions on software that is managed by a license server.
- Manage and optimize hybrid licensing environments from the same or different vendors, in any permutation of network, cloud, named or node-locked licenses.
- Allocate licenses to users based on relevant parameters such as Location, Group and Time
