Optimizing high value A&D Engineering Software License Concurrency
2026-02-17 15:00 - 15:30 UTC
In the Aerospace & Defense sector, engineering velocity is often throttled by a costly paradox: budgets are strained by rising renewal costs, yet engineers face “Access Denied” errors when accessing mission-critical tools. This “invisible bottleneck” occurs when high-value licenses—such as CATIA, NX, and ANSYS—sit idle or are mismanaged across global teams. This session demonstrates how to move beyond basic ITAM to gain deep visibility and control over your most expensive software assets.

Automated License Harvesting: Reclaim idle seats in real-time from DSLS, FlexLM, and RLM to eliminate design delays.
Precision Renewal Intelligence: Use “True Usage” heatmaps to right-size your inventory and negotiate renewals based on actual peak demand.
Project-Based Attribution: Map software costs directly to specific defense contracts or aircraft programs for accurate cost recovery.

Mastering Dongle Management with OpenLM Platform
2026-03-05 10:00 - 17:00 UTC
Centralized Tracking of Hardware Assets
The OpenLM Platform provides a “single pane of glass” for all your hardware license keys. Instead of wondering which workstation a specific dongle is plugged into, administrators get immediate visibility into every connected device across the global network. This eliminates the risk of “ghost” licenses and ensures that your expensive hardware assets are always accounted for.
Real-Time Monitoring & Live Demo Capabilities
Seeing is believing when it comes to license availability. The OpenLM Platform features a robust interface for live monitoring, which we can showcase in a personalized demo.

Live Status Updates: See exactly which dongles are currently in use, which are idle, and who is accessing them.
Usage Heatmaps: Identify whether certain hardware keys are overutilized while others remain untouched.
Instant Verification: During a live walkthrough, we can demonstrate how the platform detects a dongle the moment it’s plugged into a remote server or local host.

Optimize Your Engineering Software
Don’t let physical hardware limit your team’s productivity. By tracking usage patterns through the OpenLM Platform, you can optimize your inventory—moving dongles to where they are needed most or consolidating them into a centralized license server for better efficiency.

Smarter Way to Track Autodesk Cloud Licensing with OpenLM Platform
2026-03-18 10:00 - 17:00 UTC
Session overview
Autodesk’s transition to cloud-based Named User licensing has transformed how engineering software is accessed and managed. While cloud licensing simplifies software access for users, it also introduces new challenges for IT and license managers.
Organizations must now navigate limitations such as the 30-day reassignment rule, reduced visibility into actual license usage, and limited insight into how subscriptions are used across teams and projects.
Without proper monitoring tools, companies may unknowingly pay for licenses that are rarely used or poorly allocated — resulting in unnecessary costs and limited operational transparency.
Why this matters
Managing Autodesk licenses in a cloud environment requires more than just assigning users. IT teams need clear visibility into usage patterns to ensure that licenses are allocated efficiently and that organizations are getting the most value from their subscriptions.
What you’ll learn in this Webinar

Gain visibility into Autodesk Named User license activity
Identify underutilized or inactive subscriptions
Understand how licenses are being used across teams and departments
Improve license allocation and subscription planning
Make more informed decisions about Autodesk license investments

Key takeaway
By improving visibility into Autodesk cloud licensing, organizations can optimize subscription usage, reduce unnecessary costs, and gain a clear understanding of software consumption across their environment.

Process-Level License Intelligence: Tracking Features, DLLs, and Real Usage
2026-04-01 10:00 - 17:00 UTC
Understanding how applications are actually used across your organization is essential for effective license management. In this webinar, we’ll explore how Process Manager provides deeper visibility into application activity by monitoring processes directly from end-user machines through the Workstation Agent.
You’ll learn how organizations can track application usage at a detailed level—including specific functions and DLL activity—to distinguish between real work and idle software sessions. The session will also demonstrate how Process Manager helps optimize license availability by identifying inactive applications and automatically releasing licenses via configurable license-harvesting policies.
We’ll also cover how to configure monitoring targets, define process release thresholds, and apply advanced settings such as idle tracking and system resource monitoring to determine when an application is active or inactive accurately.
By the end of the session, attendees will understand how Process Manager can help improve software visibility, enforce usage policies, and make smarter decisions about software purchases and license allocation.
