Intergraph license management with OpenLM

Intergraph (now Hexagon Asset Lifecycle Intelligence) provides industry-leading engineering software solutions, such as Smart 3D, PDS, and SmartPlant, which are essential for the design, construction, and operation of large-scale industrial plants. Monitoring Intergraph usage is essential for organizations to track seat utilization, concurrent access, and module-specific engagement, ensuring that high-value engineering intelligence is distributed efficiently across the team and that subscription tiers remain aligned with actual demand.

OpenLM brings visibility to these metrics, helping organizations understand who is actively utilizing the platform and where seats may be sitting idle. By providing a clear picture of user engagement and credit workflows, OpenLM enables data-driven decisions regarding seat renewals and license reallocation.

Understanding Intergraph: What is Intergraph?

Intergraph is a centralized data platform designed to accelerate engineering and geospatial performance. It integrates deep company insights, professional design data, and intent signals into a single interface.

This data allows organizations to identify their ideal design workflows, track project changes, and initiate outreach at the most opportune moments in the asset lifecycle.

Intergraph licensing schemas

Intergraph typically operates on a concurrent (floating) licensing model managed via the Intergraph License Manager (IngrLM2) or FlexNet. The primary management challenge lies in the “per-user” or “per-module” cost, which is significantly higher than general business tools.

Because seats are often assigned to specific engineering teams or global offices, monitoring is required to track login frequency and feature engagement. Effective management of this schema ensures that expensive seats aren’t held by inactive users or staff who have transitioned out of engineering roles, allowing the organization to maintain its data access without over-subscribing.

OpenLM’s solution for Intergraph license optimization

OpenLM provides a structured framework to bring transparency to your Intergraph environment. By shifting from manual seat tracking to automated monitoring, OpenLM helps organizations ensure that their engineering technology spend is directly translated into team activity.
