LiMon gives operations, engineering management, and procurement teams one working view of concurrent license usage across FlexLM/FlexNet, RLM, LM-X, and DSLS. It is built for teams that need concrete usage data — the kind that right-sizes a renewal or stands up in an audit — without sending license data to a cloud service. Available capabilities depend on whether you choose Standard or Professional; see the platform comparison.
License Operations Overview
Daily operations
See license-server health, active usage, alerts, and renewal risk from one place.
The main dashboard keeps the operational picture visible: monitored servers, active users, applications, alerts, pinned views, and quick report actions.
- Monitor FlexLM/FlexNet, RLM, LM-X, and DSLS estates from one appliance.
- Give operations and management the same current view of availability and demand.
- Move from a dashboard signal into deeper investigation without changing tools.
Application Usage and Renewal Context
Application context
Turn raw vendor feature names into product-level usage and budget evidence.
LiMon connects license-server features to applications, deployments, costs, and usage patterns so renewal conversations are based on products people recognize.
- Find overused, underused, or mis-sized applications before the next renewal cycle.
- Translate cryptic feature tokens into application names, owners, and cost context.
- Support procurement and engineering discussions with the same usage model.
User, Team, and Denial Investigation
Investigation workflow
Explain who is consuming licenses, which teams depend on them, and where users are blocked.
User and denial views help answer practical questions: who is using expensive features, how often, from where, and when capacity prevents work from starting.
- Answer “who used this?” and “who was blocked?” with evidence, not guesswork.
- Add team and identity context when Professional directory enrichment is enabled.
- Make audit and renewal conversations easier to support with user-level history.
Intelligence Reports
Reporting
Produce renewal, savings, estate, site, application, and audit evidence without rebuilding spreadsheets.
LiMon Intelligence combines live report views, PDF artifacts, and scheduled delivery for teams that need repeatable management output.
- Generate PDF outputs that management can understand quickly.
- Use live report views to inspect evidence before producing formal artifacts.
- Schedule recurring reporting so renewal and audit preparation does not depend on manual exports.
Historical Log Import
Historical fidelity
Backfill history when polling alone is not enough.
LiMon can import vendor logs to reconstruct richer usage history, denied checkouts, queue events, timeouts, and session timelines.
- Fill gaps from before LiMon was installed or from periods where polling was too coarse.
- Improve denial and session analysis with vendor log evidence.
- Keep historical preparation repeatable instead of relying on one-off scripts.
Additional Capabilities
- Guided setup and browser-based administration for servers, tools, applications, sites, and reporting settings.
- License inventory search across servers, vendors, features, and application mappings.
- Slack, Teams, generic webhook, and email notifications for important operational events.
- CSV/XLS exports and PDF outputs for operations, management, finance, and audit workflows.
- Privacy controls for username masking and retention-based anonymization.
- On-premises and air-gapped operation with customer-supplied vendor utilities.
