Shadow Licensing Uncovered: Smart Control for Unmanaged Software
Webinar Overview
This webinar explores OpenLM’s Shadow License functionality, a powerful way to monitor and control software that does not rely on traditional license managers.
Administrative Configuration and Policies
Shadow licenses create a virtual license pool, enabling administrators to define usage limits, enforce named-user compliance, manage version control, and regulate access across users and workstations. The session covers where and how to configure shadow licenses in the OpenLM platform UI, explains consumption and release policies (including concurrent limits, parent packages, and timed license release).
Key Deliverables
These controls help organizations:
- Improve compliance
- Optimize costs
- Ensure efficient and fair software usage
Conclusion
By mastering Shadow License functionality, administrators can gain total visibility and granular control over their software environment, effectively eliminating the blind spots associated with non-managed applications.
