OpenLM

What OpenLM offers

• Dongle and offline tracking — follows USB licence keys, including usage when a device is off the network.
• Usage history — keeps a log of each licence check-out and check-in for auditing.
• Denial tracking — analyses failed licence requests and their cause.
• Cost analytics — supports chargeback of software costs to projects or departments, and contract planning.
