/ 3 minutes of reading

Open iT rolled out a new and improved version of LicenseAnalyzer. Take a look at the latest features listed below!

Comprehensive support for SaaS

LicenseAnalyzer seamlessly integrates with vendor portals or APIs, gathering ownership, assignment details, and usage data from application hosts and license servers for in-depth reports. Building on its support for Autodesk Cloud, Balsamiq, SolidWorks, CloudWorx, and Adobe Creative Cloud, LicenseAnalyzer now bolsters its reporting suite for Bluebeam and Bentley Cloud.

Bluebeam Integration

Open iT offers advanced usage reporting for Bluebeam, leveraging API connections to the Bluebeam Portal. This includes both real-time and historical data insights. Bluebeam support is compatible with Revu 20 and below only.

Real-time Data: Gathered using periodic sampling, viewable via the License Monitor.
Historical Data: Sourced from either sampling methods or from archived log collections.
