ProgeCAD

ProgeCAD is a 2D and 3D design software for CAD and concept sketching. It is compatible with AutoCAD and supports Direct Modeling in native .dwg format.

OpenLM supports monitoring the ProgeCAD Network License Manager (NLM) for versions 13.0.18 onward. The license server creates a periodic XML file, which OpenLM parses to present usage results in the OpenLM Web Interface interface.

Prerequisites

Monitoring ProgeCAD requires:

• OpenLM Platform

• OpenLM Broker v25.x or higher installed on the same machine as ProgeCAD, and approve it in Broker Hub.

4. Go to the Commands tab. In Executable path, enter:

   "<Full path to NLMServerMonitor.exe>" /xml

5. Click Save, then Execute to validate the output.

   

6. Go to the Vendors tab. Click Add Vendor. Enter ProgeCAD (or another free-text name). Click Continue -> Save.
