4 Powerful Solutions

FLEXNET MANAGER FOR CLIENTS

Optimize your software licenses across desktops, laptops, and other client devices. FlexNet Manager for Clients automatically applies product use rights acquired through software license agreements from desktop vendors such as Adobe, Microsoft and Symantec. Product use rights can dramatically affect the number of licenses consumed by an organization, and must therefore be considered to minimize costs and ensure license compliance.

  • Optimize license consumption to reduce software costs
  • Increase capacity to proactively manage and track software license compliance
  • Reduce risk of unbudgeted true-up expenses
  • Improve vendor negotiations with better visibility and forecasting
  • Reduce software maintenance spend
  • Track application usage to reclaim licenses, optimize renewals and reduce denials of service

 

Key advantages:

  • Industry-first ‘What If’ analysis capabilities that allow organizations to see the impact of hardware and software changes on their license position before the changes are made
  • Includes the extensive content of the Application Recognition Library with recognition rules to identify software—including publisher, title, version, and edition—for more than 283,170 software titles from 17,471 publishers across multiple platforms
