• Free Up Licenses from Inactive Applications

• Deploy Licenses More Efficiently

• Ensure Effective Use of Expensive Software Licenses

• Align Licenses with Business Priorities

This graph shows the daily active license use compared to the total license use. If you pay for license usage based on max used, elapsed time or similar, you will want to reduce the wasteful inactive time by deploying LicenseOptimizer to automatically suspend those inactive applications and free up their licenses.

Open iT® LicenseOptimizer™

frees up inactive licenses on Windows, Unix, and Linux platforms.

How LicenseOptimizer™ Works: LicenseOptimizer continu-ously monitors activity levels of select applications and users, optimizing their use automati-cally. When LicenseOptimizer discovers an application that is inactive (based on predefined parameters), the user is noti-fied. If no response is given, the application and all its data are suspended and the license is returned to the license pool for other users to access.LicenseOptimizer has very flexible configuration, and can monitor several types of ac-tions, such as CPU, I/O, mouse and keyboard activity. This allows you to target various types of applications differently. For a batch application you may focus more on CPU and

I/O activity, while for an inter-active application you might have more focus on mouse and keyboard activity. LicenseOptimizer incorporates a flexible system for adding business rules and priorities to your license optimization. This enables extremely powerful and precise license management controls. In this way, you can ensure that high priority users

are not affected by license recycling.LicenseOptimizer offers an easy way to optimize license usage and encourages best practices without strict enforcement or conflict-prone supervision. Open iT LicenseOptimizer is a flexible and powerful tool that automates license manage-ment, freeing up critical busi-ness resources.

Powerful Reporting

An advanced access control mechanism allows secure access to sensitive data throughout all levels of the organization.

Data MaskingOn-the-fly data masking ensures that only users with correct permissions are allowed to see sensitive data such as usernames, machine-names etc.

Data Level Access ControlBeing able to limit access to data based on e.g. geographical or organizational position allows you to enable global reporting of usage, while still ensuring that e.g. regional managers have access to data for their own site. Combine this with data masking to allow one regional manager to see data for his own site, but only masked data from other sites, for instance.

Sample LicenseOptimizer Reports

This report shows how LicenseOptimizer automatically released over 300 license sessions per week. Prior to using LicenseOptimizer they only freed up 20-30 checked-out yet unused license sessions a week. Usage dropped on weekends and around the December holidays.

This sample report shows users with up to five checked out licenses for the same application!

Workflow1. User warningWhen an inactive application is de-tected, the user is notified. The user can interrupt the suspension process, in case the inactivity was unintentional and the user wants to keep working with the application.

2. Application is suspendedIf there is no user response, the appli-cation will automatically be suspended, and the license returned back to the license pool. When the user returns to continue working, the license is re-claimed, and work with the application and all its data is resumed.
