Moldex3D license management with OpenLM

Moldex3D is the world-leading CAE product for the plastic injection molding industry. It enables engineers to simulate manufacturing processes to optimize part design. These simulations are computationally intensive, making efficient license governance essential.

OpenLM is your trusted partner, offering granular control to master your Moldex3D licenses, ensuring your specialized teams maintain compliance.

What is ModelX3D Licence Manager | ModelX3D license management: An introduction

Moldex3D License Manager is the proprietary utility developed by CoreTech System to control access to the Moldex3D plastic injection molding simulation software. It functions as a background service (typically on port 2556) that manages both node-locked and floating network licenses by verifying a user-specific license file against authorized “Trust Manager” access policies. Administrators use the included License Administrator tool to monitor usage, limit specific modules to certain user groups, and handle license borrowing.

Licensing schemas of Moldex3D

Moldex3D typically uses a licensing model that governs both the user interface and the parallel processing capabilities. The focus is on availability.

Parallel processing concurrency: Licenses are often concurrent or node-locked. Any competition for licenses can quickly lead to bottlenecks and costly project delays.
Simulation investment value: The scarcity and expense of these specialized tools require near-perfect utilization.
Pre-process vs. Solver: OpenLM integration supports monitoring usage by the minute, differentiating between pre-processing and active solving time.

OpenLM’s solution for Moldex3D license optimization

OpenLM provides a clear solution tailored for managing high-cost specialist licenses like Moldex3D.

OpenLM capability	Value for Moldex3D licenses
License usage tracking	Get by-the-second visibility into usage. Identify which specialist user or project is holding a license to prevent denial situations.
Automated seat reclamation	Automatically detect and reclaim licenses from inactive sessions. Since these are high-cost tools, reclaiming a single idle license provides high-value return.
Feature expiration reporting	Track expiration dates for all your Moldex3D features. This ensures legal and procurement teams are never surprised by an expiring license.
Simulation time analysis	Track usage based on start time and duration. This detailed data is crucial for auditing and justifying expenses during renewals.

OpenLM advantages for Moldex3D usage monitoring

OpenLM Platform is built for the specialized challenges of engineering software. We offer continuous monitoring for over 90 unique license managers.

Critical demand insight: OpenLM Broker monitors denials for these sensitive seats. This generates the evidence of demand needed to inform purchasing decisions.
Immediate resource recovery: Our automated system recovers licenses from inactive users. For Moldex3D tools, this delivers immediate ROI by ensuring seats are not tied up.
Unified IT asset view: OpenLM centralizes your Moldex3D management with all other license managers, providing a single platform for governance.
