Does your IT know the actual annual costs of your company's design software?

License procurement is governed by high cost awareness, but the needs may vary considerably from time to time.

Does your IT have methods of assessing design software's actual costs, license needs and securing compliancy?

With the right support and solutions, your IT can:

  • Verify the true utilization rate of your company's software licenses
  • Minimize the costs of unused software licenses
  • Find out who uses software licenses and at what utilization rate
  • See if the right licenses are available to those who need them
  • Know when and who have borrowed software licenses and when they were returned back for use
  • Find out the direct licensing cost for those actually using them, such as a user, unit, department or project
  • Know exactly which software products have been installed specifically for workstations
  • Ensure that the installed software meets the producer’s licensing terms. 


By installing CQFlexMon license management you can identify the real utilization rates, needs and costs of licenses, irrespective of the network license management system you use.
