Open iT LicenseAnalyzer

Open iT LicenseAnalyzer is software asset management for engineering software portfolios. It records how people and teams consume applications, servers, storage, databases and services across a large organisation, then reports the results.

The maker pitches it as a way to see licence use for yourself rather than relying only on the vendor's own figures at renewal time.

What Open iT LicenseAnalyzer offers

• Usage metering — records who uses which software and when.
• Licence manager support — works with more than 100 licence managers, according to the vendor.
• Reporting — concurrent and engineering licence usage reports.
• Cloud and SaaS coverage — extends to cloud-based platforms.
• Chargeback and negotiation support — usage data to allocate costs and challenge vendor claims.

Who it works with

Enterprises with engineering software, including multinationals and project-based firms such as construction companies.
