Dear valued OpenLM users,

alt

Thank you for subscribing to the OpenLM Newsletter. We in OpenLM aim to keep our newsletter informative on the OpenLM-related operative level, as well as enlightening on more general subjects such as current trends and highlights in license management. We are certain that you would find it informative and beneficial in both aspects.

This edition highlights the capabilities of OpenLM as a development platform. OpenLM has unveiled a comprehensive API interface that enables users to extend license control and monitoring capabilities in many ways.

This ability applies to organizations who are using the OpenLM utilizer as a package, as well as for technology integrators and software vendors who interface license management tools. The articles included in this newsletter show examples of different implementations, and provide sample codes for license monitoring and control.

Meanwhile, our development team has been making progress in the development of the new OpenLM version: 1.8. We consider it to be a major milestone version. This newsletter edition contains a preview article that outlines some of the new capabilities and enhancements provided by this version.

 

Best Regards,
Oren Gabay, CEO
