JTB FlexReport web report

if you want to host a web based version of JTB FlexReport we have it. See this blog post for an example of usage.

More functionality

JTB FlexReport can produce HTML reports showing who uses the licenses right now. Basic report Sample 1. Advanced report Sample 2 or a dark version. These can be created manually or automatically and for example be put on SharePoint. See also the freeware JTB FlexReport LT.

Histogram Chart that can help to determine if you need more or less licenses. Notice how there are 25 licenses but probably it could be enough with 20 or even 15 licenses because there is very small percentage when there are more than 15 licenses used concurrently.

Data is also logged to a database so you can track the usage per user or host (computer) as well as work with groups of users or hosts. Great if you need help to split license costs. Groups of features or servers can also be created and be used for reporting upon.

Email notifications (alerts/reminders) when usage is exceeding a specified level.

Let's say you have 10 licenses of your software that costs $3,000 each. Now you have 20 users that shares these licenses. Do you know if you really need these 10 licenses or if you need more now when 2 more users are coming in? If you have JTB FlexReport it will be easier to make a correct decision. If you just need to purchase 1 less license imagine your ROI (Return Of Investment) and benefit of using JTB FlexReport.

With the help of JTB FlexReport you can minimize software and maintenance/subscription/renting spendings.

JTB FlexReport supports reporting on usage of applications and companies that uses FlexNet / FLEXlm from Flexera (formerly Globetrotter Software, Macrovision and Acresso), IBM LUM and applications like 12d Model from 12D Solutions, RISA-3D (SLM based) and many more. Several thousands of independent software vendors have used the FlexNet / FLEXlm family of products. Among them are companies and/or applications from ANSYS (ANSYS License Manager), Abaqus, Autodesk, AVEVA (PDMS), Borland, Cadence, CADopia (IntelliCAD), Citrix (Citrix MetaFrame, Citrix XenApp), Cognos, EDS, Esri (ArcGIS), I-Deas, Macromedia, Mathsoft (MathCAD), Mathworks (Matlab), Mentor, Pixar, Platform, Progman/Cadcom, PTC (Pro-Engineer), Rasterx (RxView), Rational, Siemens PLM Licensing, Softimage, Solidworks, Sybase, Synopsys, Unigraphics, WindRiver, etc. IBM LUM is used by Dassault Systemes with applications like Catia and Enovia. LM-X is for example used by Solibri products. MathLM (Mathematica), Vertex Systems (Vertex BD - BIM Software for Steel and Wood Framing Construction, Vertex G4 - 3D Mechanical Engineering Software for Machinery Industries, Vertex Flow PDM / PLM Software).

RLM (Reprise License Manager) is for example used by Ansys/EvenAG, Bitplane, CadWorks, CMG (CMGL), Bricsys/BricsCAD, DesignBuilder, Elemental Tech, FEMTools/DDS, FINCAD, Genarts, GibbsCAM, Graebert (ARES), HumanSolutions, Lanner, LLamasoft, MAPublisher, Minesight, Oasys Design Systems, Programming Research, Runge, Siemens/KineoCam, Siemens/LMS (LMS International), Simerics, SolidAngle, Solver, StreamSim, TecPlot, Trace32 (Lauterbach), WesternGeco (Gedco). Import of RLM license server report log is available as well as snapshots taken with the rlmutil.exe utility.

This is an example of a detailed report created with JTB FlexReport. Every user is mapped to a group. The group can be a location, division, cost center, it's up to you. You can also see what users that are not within a group.

Report app that makes it easy to create different type of charts and reports of the license usage and historical usage. Create the reports manually or automatically on schedule to be published on a server as PNG files or emailed.

This report is showing how many hours each user has used applications each month sorted with the highest usage first.

If you have cascading licenses or multiple versions of the same application, you can combine the various separate reports to get a total usage. This way it can help you to comply with that your company are not using more licenses than allowed as can be the case if you for example have AutoCAD 2018, AutoCAD 2017, etc. on subscription from Autodesk.

Look at historical data of for example of 20 months where max usage per day is showed. Notice that the available number of licenses has been adjusted up and down. In this case the licenses are rented on a monthly basis.

Or 10 months.

Or just 5 days.

Any of the chart and list reports can be created automatically on a regular interval as PNG images and if a fixed name is used for them they can be put on a simple HTML page that users can access or for example SharePoint.

Drilldown to find who might have used licenses at a specific point in time.

Usage per Feature per Day.

Denied per Month. Notice in column LicenseFound how some users did not find a license within a reasonable time as well as how many times they were denied.

Concurrent Usage Per Month report showing max, min and average usage as well as standard deviation.

Find out what users have borrowed licenses but still are online and connected to the network and if needed contact them to return the license earlier. Use the Pinged Host Report.

Chart report on how many hours users have been using a feature.

For Autodesk customers who own a subscription with multi-user access or network maintenance or Design & Creation Suites, JTB FlexReport can help you transition to a plan for named users.

IBM LUM idle time reporting is available where the the percentage idle time per Workbench, user and host is reported on per day, week or month. Contact us for details.

German privacy law, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance or similar can be met by not recording any details about the users and hosts.

Multiple license servers in a LNA/WAN can be monitored from one location even across multiple time zones or countries. No limitation in number of servers, features, users or hosts that can be monitored.

FlexNet/FLEXlm support includes Floating (Concurrent) Licenses (also referred to as concurrent usage or network licensing), Redundancy via License-File List (distributed license servers), Redundant License Server Systems (triads or three-server redundancy) and node-locked licenses (Counted Licenses and Uncounted Licenses).

This is a list of systems that are not directly supported but JTB Process Monitor can report on the application usage of many of the applications using these license systems. Archicad wibu, Felics, Bentley licensing and SELECTserver, RSoft, GNS License Manager, Orcaflex, Transoft, Sparx, Bitlock, Elprocad, Rhino3d zoo, IBM Rational ClearCase Atria.

Contact us if you have a need for full support of any of them or any that is not listed here.
