LAC enforcement, the MCP Connector, and the new Homepage, live with our experts.
The problem
Licensing multiverse, zero shared visibility
Engineering licenses, SaaS subscriptions, and AI tools are usually managed separately, each with its own blind spot. The expensive one: a license checked out from a workstation with no Agent running doesn’t show up anywhere in your reporting — your usage data is wrong exactly where licenses cost the most. Policies could see this. They couldn’t stop it.
Before Cho Oyu
Observe. Report. Hope.
- High-value licenses consumed from workstations with no Workstation Agent running
- Those sessions are invisible — usage data is wrong where it matters most
- Policies could observe and report, but not act
- Onboarding a 200-group option file meant building allocations one at a time
- SaaS license servers sat outside policy enforcement entirely
With Cho Oyu
Enforce. Measure. Know.
- LAC detects and blocks allocations from workstations without an active Agent
- Consumption data is accurate across on-prem and SaaS environments
- One toggle moves from observation to active compliance enforcement
- A 200-group option file onboards in a single action
- SaaS license servers are now inside the policy engine
Spotlight · License Access Control
LAC stops watching and starts blocking.
Turn on one global toggle. The next deployment skips allocations from any workstation not running an active Agent. A brief disconnect isn’t treated as a missing Agent — legitimate users don’t get caught in the gap.
Agent enforcement
LAC cross-references allocations against Agent Activity Manager. Workstations without an active Agent are skipped on the next deployment. The audit trail is complete. Offline ≠missing — a brief disconnect doesn't punish legitimate users.
Bulk allocation creation
Select multiple features and entities at once. LAC creates one allocation per combination. A 200-group option file goes from an all-day task to a single action. Powered by a new AddRules GraphQL mutation — existing AddRule is unchanged.
SaaS policy deployment
Policies now deploy to SaaS license servers — scheduled or manual. Closes the gap between SaaS and on-premises enforcement. Both worlds under one policy engine.
Resilient deployment
A disabled or deleted user no longer fails the whole deployment. The affected allocation is skipped, logged, and reported. Everything else still goes through. Skipped items surface in the deployment report for cleanup.
OpenLM MCP Connector
Your reporting database now takes plain-English questions.
OpenLM speaks the Model Context Protocol — the open standard for connecting AI assistants to live data. Point your AI client at your tenant, sign in once with OAuth, and ask.
How it works
Your prompt becomes a GraphQL query against your reporting database.
New Homepage
It's a dashboard now, not a lobby.
Sign in and you see license health, denials, and pool utilization immediately. The old landing page is gone.
KPI cards
Offline servers and denied requests — one click from the underlying view. No drilling through menus to find out what's broken.
License Servers Status
Healthy / Pending / Error breakdown at a glance. The donut you actually want to see after logging in.
Top denied & underutilized
Top 5 Denied Features and Top 5 Features in Use — side by side. Top 5 Saturated and Top 5 Underutilized Pools alongside them.
Usage trend
Rolling usage trend visible without navigating away. Patterns surface before they become incidents.
Upcoming expirations
Licenses expiring in the next 30, 60, 90 days — surfaced on login so they're not a surprise at renewal.
Alert bar
Severity-aware. Critical alerts are not buried inside a notifications drawer. They're on the screen you open first.
Fleet operations
Stop upgrading Workstation Agents one machine at a time.
From Agent Activity Manager, select any subset of agents, pick a target version, and upgrade them in a single action.

Workstation Agent for macOS New
Runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon. Install interactively with the .pkg or shell installer, or roll it out across a managed fleet with your MDM. macOS joins Windows and Linux as a first-class platform for license and process monitoring — currently shipping as Workstation Agent v26.6.24.1528.
A more secure way to log in
Log in once. Stay protected everywhere.
OpenLM web apps now share a single sign-on session. Open Usage, Allocation, Denial, or Identity without logging in again — and when you’re done, one logout ends every session, everywhere, within seconds.
Single sign-on across apps
Log in once and move between Usage, Allocation, Denial, and Identity without re-authenticating.
One global logout
Log out once and OpenLM ends your session everywhere, on every device, within seconds.
Credentials never leave the server
Your login token stays on the OpenLM server — browser extensions, malware, and screen or network captures can't read it. Same username and password; you may need to log in once after the update.
License file workspace
Edit, validate, compare, and deploy license files — in one place.
License File Management (LFM)
Structured feature tables, version comparison with added/removed/changed highlighting, pre-validation before Broker Hub, automatic SLM sync. No more emailing license files between systems.
License Parser — now in platform
Drag a FlexLM file in for an instant summary. License Parser is no longer a standalone product — it's built in. Everything is parsed in memory. Nothing is written to storage. Data privacy by design.
Software catalog intelligence
Your software catalog builds itself.
Software Discovery finds vendors first, then discovers and enriches individual products — pulling feature codes and deployment type automatically, and promoting clean results into your approved catalog.
Discover Vendor
AI-assisted scan of your environment
Discover & Enrich Product
Feature codes, deployment types pulled in
Extract SKU & Type
Deployment type & product identifiers resolved
Promote to Catalog
Clean results enter your approved catalog
AI spend governance
Treat AI subscriptions like the licenses they are.
AI Proxy usage is now aggregated hourly. Anthropic OAuth identities resolve through the claude.ai profile endpoint — usage maps to people, not anonymous keys. Admin API keys are recognized too. A new Stand By command lets you pause AI Proxy activity on demand.
Executive Overview
Total cost, total tokens, top spender, cost by model family. One page for the budget conversation.
Model Consumption Analysis
Each user's model mix, license tier, last active date, exact token splits, and cost.
User Consumption + Peak Burst
Daily tokens vs. cost, heaviest users at a glance, plus each user's peak 5-hour token burst — the clearest signal for whether they need a high tier or just have spread-out usage.
Details Report
Exportable, day by day: user, vendor, license tier, model, tokens, cost. The row-level data your finance team will ask for.

Frequently asked
Quick answers.
Software Discovery finds vendors first, then discovers and enriches individual products — pulling feature codes and deployment type automatically, and promoting clean results into your approved catalog.Â
Where do I find build numbers, schema details, and per-component changelogs?
In the official release notes at openlm.com/documentation/release-notes/ — that’s the source of truth for technical detail. This page is the overview.
Where did the installers move?
Platform Administration → Products → Downloads. There are two tabs: Platform and Legacy. All installers in one place now.
Is License Parser something I need to buy separately?
No. It was a standalone product. It’s part of the platform now — drag a FlexLM file in and you get an instant structured summary with no extra steps or costs.
Will LAC enforcement penalize someone whose Agent briefly drops offline?
No. Detection distinguishes a temporary disconnect from a genuinely missing Agent. A brief offline period does not skip that workstation’s allocations.
What AI clients work with the MCP Connector?
Any MCP-aware client. Confirmed working: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, and Gemini CLI. US endpoint: cloud-us.openlm.com/mcp — EU endpoint: cloud-eu.openlm.com/mcp.
