Snow Engineering Application Management

Manage engineering application licenses efficiently with Snow

As organizations increase investments in engineering software, IT leaders struggle to keep track of what applications are in use and ensure they are available when they’re needed. Flexera meters and reports how applications are being used, suspends unused applications, and releases the associated licenses so you can ensure applications are ready for users when it’s time to deploy.

Improve license usage efficiency

Better align software purchases with user activity

Correctly align software license and maintenance purchases to match users’ needs by monitoring and reporting on application activity. Easily distinguish between active and dormant application usage. With detailed reports on usage patterns, you can spend more time optimizing key areas, including support, training and vendor management.

Continuously monitor usage

Usage-based license management

With advanced configuration, you can monitor metrics such as CPU, mouse and keyboard activity to effectively assess and optimize usage automatically. When applications are found to be inactive, based on flexible criteria, the user is notified. If no response is received, the application is suspended, and the license is returned to the pool for others to access.
