The application has three levels of optimization: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3.
(1) Level 1: Runtime Usage collects usage data from a wide range of sources to meter checked
out licenses or applications. It includes real-time monitoring and historical reporting on a wide range of on-premise and cloud applications; customizable dashboards; and proactive alerts.
(2) Level 2: True Active Usage meters the activity levels of all standalone or server-based
applications, cloud, or on-premise to determine whether applications are truly being actively
used.
(3) Level 3: Managed Usage automates license harvesting. It expands the capabilities of the
first two levels and provides better control for managing license resources by discovering and
terminating or suspending applications that are not in active use.
LicenseAnalyzer has been updated to v9.19 to include new improvements, features, and
bug fixes.
Its new features include the following:
1. Creation of Application Crash Reports
Disabler creates a report in case an application unexpectedly terminates during resume. This provides easy access to information that may help rationalize the causality of the incident. Please note that this feature is only available for Windows.
2. Force-Terminate Option
A new attribute, force-terminate, is supported in Level 3.
This is used to specify the timespan in which an application is allowed to be suspended before being terminated.
3. Force-Resume Option
A new attribute, license-requirement-offset, is supported in Level 3.
This attribute handles checkout race conditions wherein suspended applications may still be resumed even when no licenses are available in the pool.
4. Custom-Action Script
Save scripts are one of the many types a custom action script can perform. These are scripts tailored to Petrel’s behavior to ensure proper saving of progress before the disabler optimizes the application.
5. Complete Visibility
Support for Bluebeam, Bentley Cloud Real-Time Usage Reporting, and Improvements on Matlab Collection.
