CAD / CAE Software & EngineeringInsightPro for license analytics
A system administration tool to monitor and maintain license usage: see who uses your software licenses, how and how often, and plan the license pool on data.
What InsightPro does
InsightPro collects license usage across your license managers and turns it into reports for administrators, managers and purchasing.
- License usage tracking
- Tracks license checkouts in real time and keeps the history, across the license managers your company uses, including token-based licenses.
- Reports by department and region
- Standard usage reports over time, plus advanced reports for reservations, package usage and token-based licenses, broken down by your organization's hierarchy.
- Organization hierarchy and charge-backs
- Imports your organization structure from Active Directory and calculates charge-backs for regions and departments.
- Portfolio optimization and forecasting
- Finds underused licenses, supports purchase decisions, enables license sharing across sites, and forecasts future usage from current and historical data.
- Desktop software usage
- The Desktop Software Usage Analytics module monitors software use on Windows desktops, including idle time, collects software inventory and produces compliance reports.
