Efficient license governance is critical to ensure that analysts can process imagery without interruption.

OpenLM is your trusted partner, offering the granular control needed to master your L3Harris licenses, ensuring your geospatial teams maintain compliance and continuous operational readiness.

What is LexFloatServer: An introduction

LexFloatServer is the on-premise floating license server component for the Cryptlex licensing platform. It enables organizations to host their own lightweight license server within a private network (LAN) to manage concurrent (floating) license usage locally, rather than requiring every end-user device to maintain a continuous connection to the public Cryptlex cloud. The server handles the leasing, renewal, and return of license tokens to client applications, periodically syncing usage data with the backend or operating in offline modes for high-security environments.

Licensing schemas of LexFloatServer

Vendors using LexFloatServer typically deploy it to allow concurrent usage of their specific niche applications. The challenge for IT is monitoring these “long-tail” tools through a single pane of glass.

Concurrent usage visibility: Licenses are floating. Because multiple vendors might use this technology, managing the ratio of users to licenses varies by application and requires unified oversight.
Diverse application mix: LexFloatServer may manage anything from scientific calculators to productivity plugins. The goal is to maximize the availability of these seats regardless of the specific app.
Centralized reporting: OpenLM integrates to monitor usage by the minute, replacing fragmented vendor logs with a standardized enterprise view.

OpenLM’s solution for LexFloatServer license optimization

OpenLM provides a clear, authoritative solution for governing floating license middleware. We help you bring shadow IT under control.

OpenLM capability	Value for LexFloatServer licenses
Real-time server monitoring	Get visibility into current usage across all apps managed by the server. Instantly identify which user is holding a license for which specific tool.
Automated license harvesting	Automatically detect and reclaim licenses from inactive sessions. Reclaiming idle licenses provides immediate return by making them available for other users.
Feature expiration alerts	Track expiration dates for all entitlements managed by LexFloatServer. Ensure users are never surprised by an application suddenly reverting to “trial” mode.
Usage audit logs	Track usage based on start time and duration. This detailed data is crucial for internal auditing and deciding which niche tools are worth renewing.
