Engineering software can be some of the most expensive that you own. Yet it is critical to delivering new products on time and on budget in today’s highly competitive environment. That’s why it’s important to optimize your concurrent licenses (aka network or floating licenses) for engineering software so that you have the optimal quantity and mix of applications—enough to get the job done on time and on budget, but not more than you need, which would be a waste of money.
Organizations that don't track and manage concurrent license usage run into one or both of two different problems--
- Too many denials of service--meaning that engineers are waiting to run the tools they need to do their jobs:
- Overspending on software licenses--this happens when peak usage is always (or almost always) less than the number of licenses owned:
Attend the “Reduce Your Costs for Expensive Engineering Software” Webinar to learn how FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications can help you:
- Monitor the actual usage of your whole portfolio of concurrently licensed tools
- Show you where there are either not enough or too many concurrent licenses
- Run reports on usage over a period of time, and see where there are usage peaks and valleys of any and all titles in your engineering software portfolio—manage denials of service to achieve productivity objectives while controlling costs
- Look at how the software is distributed throughout the organization, so you can allocate more licenses to one project and less to another as usage needs vary
- Understand when and how to remix your engineering software to reduce costs and increase productivity
Learn how you can avoid over-spending on concurrently licensed engineering software and increase your organization’s productivity at the same time - register today!
