1 The Premier Software Usage Analysis and Reporting Toolset LT-Live Community : A New Software-Publisher / Customer Relationship Paradigm

2 Your partner in Software Asset Management LT-Live : Product Overview web based tool to monitor active license usage works with Flex and Reprise license servers – built on top of lmstat and rlmstat single web interface to all license servers: – server and daemon status for administrators – license availability and current user sessions – shares user model and feature model with LT-Analyzer facilitates specific and powerful queries

3 Your partner in Software Asset Management LT-Live : Product Benefits improved license server performance – controlled lmstats by an LT-LiveAgent vs. uncontrolled user lmstats by 100s or 1000s of users enhanced comprehension of current license usage – web GUI vs text console simplifies data consumption powerful query capabilities – single feature or daemon across multiple servers – business unit activity – single user on all servers – all daemons on a single server – similar features from different vendors – etc., etc., etc.

4 Your partner in Software Asset Management 1.System Configuration A system administrator uses the LT-Live Config tool to initialize the agents and collector(s). 2.Collect Server Status LT-Live Agents interact with one or more license servers gathering usage data locally for optimal performance. The LT-Live Web server interacts with multiple LT-Live Agents collecting their data into a web- server based repository. An enterprise may have multiple globally dispersed LT-Live Web servers to improve query performance. 3.End-user and Administrator Queries The license availability, current sessions and server status information is then available through a web browser. How does LT-Live Work? LT-Live Config LT-Live Web LT-Live Agent License Daemon Config Files Web Browsers
