Process-Level License Intelligence: Tracking Features, DLLs, and Real Usage
2026-04-01 10:00 - 17:00 UTC | OpenLM
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.

Where License Intelligence Begins: How OpenLM Platform Collects Data
2026-04-15 10:00 - 17:00
Session Overview: This technical session provides a comprehensive look into the OpenLM data collection architecture, focusing on how background components securely harvest and manage licensing data. We will explore the technical capabilities of the OpenLM Broker, Cloud Broker, and Workstation Agent, and demonstrate how this gathered intelligence drives strategic data collection and project tracking.
Here is the crisp breakdown of what will be technically covered:
1. The OpenLM Broker (On-Premise) Deep Data Harvesting: How the Broker interfaces directly with your license servers to extract real-time feature usage, read hardcoded license files, and continuously parse debug logs for granular activity tracking.
2. The OpenLM Cloud Broker Cloud-Native Tracking: Extending the traditional Broker capabilities to monitor, parse, and manage modern cloud-hosted license managers, external vendor portals, and SaaS environments, ensuring a unified data stream regardless of where the infrastructure lives.
3. The OpenLM Workstation Agent: Visibility at the Endpoint. The final component covered is the Workstation Agent, which moves visibility from the server down to the user’s machine. The session demonstrates how it tracks active versus idle application time and how it ties software consumption to specific client projects or internal initiatives — either through on-screen prompts or silent background assignment.

Track Every Click and Touchpoint with OpenLM Monitoring
2026-05-13 10:00 - 17:00
This webinar helps teams strengthen monitoring capabilities, improve transparency in web usage, and support decision-making through accurate activity tracking.

Website and URL access monitoring: Organizations can monitor website and URL access activity to gain visibility into user behavior and system usage. Website monitoring tracks which websites or URLs are accessed, the users who access them, and the time of access. This tracking enables control, security, and usage analysis of web resources.

Touchpoint events monitoring: The session covers touchpoint events monitoring to capture user and system interactions across different stages. Monitoring touchpoint events provides operational insights, helps organizations understand usage patterns, improves troubleshooting, and enhances system observability.

Who should attend:
This session is for teams looking to strengthen monitoring capabilities and improve transparency in how users access and use web resources.

Because in a world driven by data, visibility isn’t just an advantage — it’s the foundation of every smart decision.

Getting started with the OpenLM MCP Connector
2026-05-20 10:00 - 17:00
What if you could ask your license environment a question — in plain English — and get a real answer back?
The OpenLM MCP Connector makes that possible. In this technical session, we’ll connect the OpenLM Platform to Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible AI assistants, then put it to work on the questions you actually ask: questions that today require heavy tooling. A few we’ll demo live:

“Which AutoCAD licenses haven’t been used in the last 90 days?”
“Show MATLAB usage by department for Q3.”
“Where are we over-allocated, and where are we denying users?”
“What’s our true cost-per-active-user across the engineering tools stack?”

You’ll leave knowing how to set up the connection, write your first queries, and turn license telemetry into the kind of answers your CFO and your engineers both want.
Who should attend:
This session is designed for License Administrators, Software Asset Managers, and OpenLM Partners looking to leverage generative AI to automate reporting and optimize engineering software portfolios.

Open to Customers, Partners, and IT Professionals. No prior OpenLM experience required.

Understanding License Usage, Activity, and Denials in OpenLM Platform
2026-05-27 10:00 - 16:30
This webinar explores the core reporting services within the OpenLM system. You can learn about license monitoring, compliance, and access control.

What’s covered:

Usage service: Discover how to track and analyze license usage across your organization. You can view Currently Consumed License (CCL) usage, user activity, peak usage times, and overall consumption patterns to optimize resource allocation and reduce waste.
Licenses and procurement service: Manage the license inventory, including types, allocations, expirations, and availability. You can integrate procurement workflows to prepare for renewals and maintain compliance.
Denial service: Spot access bottlenecks and identify why the system denies licenses. You can use this data to make decisions on expansion or redistribution.

Key takeaways:

Visibility into currently consumed licenses
Procurement and inventory planning
Information to reduce denials and disruptions

OpenLM gives you the clarity and control to transform license complexity into a true competitive advantage.

Users, Groups, & Directories: A Complete Guide to User Management in OpenLM
2026-06-11 10:00 - 16:30
Overview
License governance breaks down when user data is incomplete, outdated, or siloed. This session will cover the full scope of User Management in OpenLM: how to view, create, and edit users, groups, email aliases, user aliases, and workstations — and how to keep that data accurate by connecting it directly to your organization’s Active Directory. Whether your environment has a few dozen engineers or several thousand, this session lays out a practical, scalable approach to staying in control.
Key Takeaways

Understand how Users, Groups, email aliases, user aliases, and workstations are structured and managed within OpenLM
Explore the Personal Dashboard and what it surfaces — usage history, assigned licenses, and individual-level insights
Learn how the Directory Synchronization Service (DSS) pulls data from Active Directory to enrich existing user records and bring new users into OpenLM automatically

Question We’ll Answer:

What visibility does the Personal Dashboard provide into individual license consumption?

Conclusion:
User Management isn’t just an administrative function — it’s the foundation that makes accurate license tracking possible. By connecting OpenLM to Active Directory through DSS and giving both administrators and end users visibility through the Personal Dashboard, organizations move from reactive license management to a fully informed, continuously synchronized approach. This session will give you the blueprint to get there.
