ProSim (from Fives ProSim) is a specialized process simulation software suite used across high-stakes industries like chemical, petrochemical, refining, and energy. Tools like ProSimPlus are critical for steady-state process simulation, optimization, and energy management. The ProSim License Manager is the dedicated system controlling access to these high-value tools.
OpenLM provides a solution for monitoring the ProSim License Manager, transforming server log data into actionable business intelligence. OpenLM ProSim monitoring ensures you gain the necessary visibility to control costs, plan renewals, and ensure your engineering teams always have access to their simulation licenses.
ProSim utilizes a proprietary license manager to distribute and track licenses, focusing on flexible access for enterprise users.
The ProSim License Manager is the integrated licensing system used across most ProSim software. Its primary function is to authorize or deny the right to use the protected software based on the installed license file.
ProSim provides license models tailored for both individual and networked corporate environments:
OpenLM provides a centralized mechanism for monitoring the ProSim License Manager. This is achieved using the OpenLM Broker installed on the license server machine, which retrieves usage data and compiles reports for the OpenLM Platform.
