Advanced AbsInt license management with OpenLM

AbsInt GmbH provides highly specialized, safety-critical software for static analysis, formal verification, and code quality across high-assurance industries like aerospace, automotive, and nuclear power. Tools such as aiT (for worst-case execution time analysis) and Astrée (for run-time error analysis) are essential for development integrity, making efficient license governance a critical project element.

OpenLM is your trusted partner, offering deep expertise and granular control to master your AbsInt licenses, ensuring your specialized safety-critical teams maintain compliance and continuous access to vital tools.

Understanding AbsInt: What is AbsInt License Manager?

The AbsInt License Manager (ALM) is a centralized server application designed to administer licenses for AbsInt’s software verification tools, such as the a³ analysis suite (including aiT, StackAnalyzer, and Astrée). It enables organizations to manage floating licenses, allowing multiple users to share a pool of licenses across a network, as well as handling node-locked configurations for specific machines.

The ALM ensures compliance by tracking concurrent usage and verifying license validity before permitting software execution.

All about licensing schemas of AbsInt

As a vendor of highly specialized, mission-critical tools, AbsInt typically uses a stringent, low-concurrency licensing model to protect its intellectual property and ensure reliable usage. The focus is on maximizing the availability of these expensive, specialized seats.

Concurrent use is key: AbsInt licenses are often concurrent (floating). Because of the high financial value of each seat, any competition for licenses can quickly lead to bottlenecks and costly project delays if not managed with precision.
High cost, low volume: The scarcity and expense of these specialized tools require near-perfect utilization and demand precise monitoring to fully justify the substantial investment.
Detailed reporting: OpenLM’s integration supports monitoring usage by minute and reporting expiration dates, crucial steps for managing low-volume, high-value assets and ensuring compliance.

OpenLM's solution for AbsInt optimization

OpenLM provides an informative, clear, and authoritative solution tailored for managing high-cost, low-volume specialist licenses like AbsInt. We help you transition from reactive license troubleshooting to confident, proactive control.

OpenLM capability	Value for AbsInt licenses
Real-time usage monitoring	Get by-the-second visibility into current license usage. Instantly identify which specialist user, host, or project is holding a license to proactively prevent denial situations that could halt critical safety analysis.
Automated license reclamation (harvesting)	Automatically detect and reclaim licenses from inactive user sessions. Since these are high-cost tools, reclaiming even a single idle license provides an immediate, high-value return by making it instantly available for another waiting engineer.
Expiration date reporting	Track and alert on the expiration date for all your AbsInt features. This ensures your legal and procurement teams are never surprised by an expiring license, guaranteeing continuous access to essential validation tools.
Granular activity tracking	Track usage with a focus on start time and duration. This detailed usage data is crucial for internal auditing, meeting compliance requirements in safety-critical domains, and providing the clear data needed to justify the expense during renewals.
