Open iT License Optimizer
Automatically discovers, suspends and redistributes idle software licenses to active users. Maximize the value of expensive license investments.
Open iT License Optimizer is a powerful, automated software-license-management system. It discovers applications that aren’t being actively used, suspends them and redistributes the freed licenses to active users. It also monitors activity levels across all installed applications and produces reports for license analysis.
With License Optimizer you maximize the value of your software licenses and remove the guesswork of manual license management.
Why It Matters
A user opens an expensive engineering application in the morning, then heads to lunch, then to a meeting — the app stays open all day but isn’t actually being used for hours. The license stays checked out, leaving no room in the shared pool for other active users. License Optimizer detects those idle sessions and returns the license to the pool — shortening the queue and easing pressure to buy more.
Capabilities
Recover Inactive Licenses
- Automatically suspends applications that have been idle for a set period and match configured rules.
- The license is returned to the pool server so other active users can pick it up.
- Provides visibility into actual software use — are licenses held by active applications, or by idle/forgotten ones?
- Prevents unnecessary license purchases.
Customize for Precise Software Control
Configurable activity signals:
- CPU usage
- I/O activity
- Mouse and keyboard activity
Flexible configuration lets you target different application types (CAD, simulation, IDE…) with different thresholds. For example, you can write business rules so a long-running rendering simulation isn’t mistakenly flagged as idle.
Monitor Usage and Boost Efficiency
Monitoring gives you visibility into application activity and usage patterns:
- Records keyboard, mouse, CPU and I/O events
- Customizable reports from enterprise to user level
- Detailed graphical and tabular reports
- Enterprise dashboards for understanding software assets and usage models
The Automation Advantage
- Less manual work — admins don’t have to babysit the license pool every day
- Urgent demand met — a queued user gets the license the moment someone else’s idle session is closed
- Stronger renewal negotiations — real usage data in hand, you can justify discounts
- Centralized records for audit & compliance
Use Cases
CAE/CAD shops (CATIA, SolidWorks, ANSYS), MATLAB & R simulation pools, GIS software (ArcGIS), Autodesk license pools, enterprise IDE & dev-tool licenses.
