Release Notes

The post-login screen is no longer a lobby of nav tiles — it is a real operational dashboard. The QuickSight-backed Homepage has been replaced with a native Angular widget grid that surfaces license health, denial volume, and pool utilization the moment you sign in. First paint is faster, the cloud-only dependency is gone, and every widget plugs into a shared shell so loading, empty, and error states behave the same way across the board. See the Homepage changelog for the full per-version history.

• KPI summary cards for license servers offline and denied requests, each with a one-click deep link into the underlying view.
• License Servers Status donut breaking your fleet down into Healthy, Pending, and Error states, so a single outage no longer hides behind an aggregate.
• Top 5 Denied Features and Top 5 Features in Use, side by side — see where demand is hitting the ceiling and where engineering teams are spending the budget.
• Top 5 Saturated and Top 5 Underutilized License Pools, side by side — surface reclaim opportunities without writing a custom report.
• Usage trend and Upcoming expirations & renewals widgets, plus a severity-aware alert bar that surfaces critical signal at the top of the page.
• Take the Tour guided walkthrough for first-time admins, and an SLM activation gate that shows a clear lock card instead of empty widgets when SLM is inactive.

OpenLM now speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard for connecting AI assistants to live business data. Point Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, or any other MCP-aware client at your tenant, sign in once with OAuth, and ask questions in plain language: "Which features were denied most often last month?", "Show me underused AutoCAD seats by office." The MCP Reporting Server translates your prompt into a GraphQL query against your reporting database and returns tables, summaries, or — on higher-tier AI plans — fully interactive dashboards. No new BI tool to learn, no exported CSVs, no hand-built filters. Your reporting data, conversational.

Endpoints are provided for both regions — https://cloud-us.openlm.com/mcp for US and https://cloud-eu.openlm.com/mcp for EU. See the MCP Reporting Server documentation for client setup and the full tool reference.

Updating Workstation Agents one machine at a time is over. From Agent Activity Manager, select any subset of agents across your fleet, pick a target Workstation Agent version, and trigger the upgrade in a single action. There is no per-machine MSI work, no need to touch endpoints individually, and rollout progress is visible in one place. Use it to deploy a hotfix to a single team, stage a phased rollout, or move an entire organization onto the latest agent on the same day.

LFM brings license-file editing, validation, and deployment into one place. Work safely with drafts before you push, see each file's parsed features as a structured table, compare versions at both the text and feature level, and let LFM keep license-file to license-server links in sync with SLM — triad-aware, with a full per-file event history. See the License File Management documentation for the full feature reference.

• Automatic synchronization between LFM and SLM, keeping license server names in sync with license files (including triad members).
• License file history with a per-file event timeline covering drafts, deployments, deactivations, and deletions.
• Parsed license features shown as a structured table — feature name, vendor, version, license type, start and expiration dates, quantity, and key.
• Compare different versions of the same license file: side-by-side raw-text comparison and a parsed-features table comparison that highlights added, removed, and changed features.
• Pre-validation of license files before pushing to Broker Hub, with file-text verification and warning detection (structural, semantic, and server-availability checks).

LAC turns license management into policy-driven enforcement: define rules for who can use which features and when, and LAC compiles and deploys option files to your license manager for checkout-time enforcement. Policies bundle rules (with optional schedules), audit logs capture granted and denied attempts, and integrations with UGS and the Features Service validate users, groups, and features.

• Integrated with SLM to improve responsiveness when license servers are deleted or disabled. Policies, Rules, and Assets that require a license server now show error icons with explanatory tooltips.
• Integrated with UGS to improve responsiveness when Users & Groups are deleted or disabled. Rules that depend on those entities now show error icons with explanatory tooltips.
• Fixed incorrect deployment behavior that caused queue records to disappear without an error or history record.
