OpenLM Benefits
- Up to date: An excellent alternative to the retired SAMreport and SAMreport-Lite utilities for producing Autodesk usage reports.
- Actual usage: OpenLM monitors application usage, and determines whether it is active or sitting idle, consuming expensive licenses.
- License harvesting: Applications that have been identified as idle may be configured to save and close the session, thus returning the idle license to the license pool and boosting license availability
- Notifications: Users who have been denied licenses will be notified when one has become vacant.
- License Structure: OpenLM supports license management and reporting according to the Autodesk Suites and Packages’ license structure.
- Options files: OpenLM can dynamically adjust and maintain Autodesk FlexLM Options files, to reflect changes made in the organization’s user group membership.
- Groups and Projects: OpenLM will accumulate license usage statistics according to Projects, as well as organizational units.
On the ground, and in the air
