Overview
FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications is a Web-based administration, reporting, and planning tool for usage-based licenses and license servers. It provides tools for comprehensive license management that can help you reduce software costs and increase user productivity while leveraging existing technology.
The key to meeting these objectives is information—knowing what licenses your enterprise is using, knowing which individuals are using them, and knowing how frequently (and for how long) the licenses are being used.
When you have this information, you can do the following:
| • | Identify areas of overspending. |
| • | Share expensive licenses across your enterprise. |
| • | Reduce license-administration costs. |
FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications provides a single console view of all your FlexNet licenses and license servers, which enables you to centrally manage, track, and control them across your enterprise. You identify your license server environment and immediately have a network-wide view of your enterprise’s FlexNet license assets. From the management console, you can monitor and manage license servers, set alerts to identify potential problems, view real-time license usage, and run historical usage reports.
