Engineering License Optimization
Reclaim dormant FlexLM and DSLS concurrent tokens.
Engineering software like AutoCAD, Ansys, MATLAB, and SolidWorks are often the most expensive licenses in an enterprise portfolio, managed via concurrent token systems like FlexLM or DSLS. Traditional SAM tools struggle to parse these proprietary daemon logs in real-time, resulting in costly over-purchasing and 'license denial' bottlenecks for engineers.
Mima natively interfaces with FlexLM and DSLS license managers to track active token checkouts versus idle sessions. By identifying users who hoard tokens while applications sit dormant, Mima triggers reclamation workflows that require manager approval before returning concurrent licenses to the pool, drastically reducing peak demand and lowering renewal costs without impacting engineering velocity.
