OpenLM Version 1.4.1 Announcement

OpenLM version 1.4.1 is a maintenance release for the latest release (1.4.0) of OpenLM.

The new maintenance version enhances the existing version and adds many new and very important functions.

Highlights

  • As of this version, the communication between OpenLM agents and the OpenLM Server is based on HTTP protocol. It enables the communication over wide networks and firewalls.

  • The new version includes support for Microsoft Terminal Services.

  • Daily, weekly and monthly reports can now be generated.

  • The new version also includes a long awaited solution: preventing the closing of software during long processing jobs.

Important to know: Macrovision announced recently that it is retiring SAMreport and SAMsuite. For anyone searching for these types of applications and who use FLEXlm licensed software, OpenLM can now provide a very good solution.

OpenLM is offered in three flavors:

  1. OpenLM For ESRI ArcGIS - The full version with a specific extension for ESRI ArcGIS Desktop products.
  2. OpenLM FLEXlm Utilizer - The full version that fits any organization using FLEXlm licensed software. The software is a good replacement for Macrovision SAMreportSAMsuite and it is extremely cost effective in comparison to the Macrovision product. Please read more on the subject of OpenLM Utilizer for FLEXlm .
  3. OpenLM Light - The free version of OpenLM. It can be freely downloaded and used by any organization that use FLEXlm licensing. It offers the basic reporting features, plus end-user tools to query license availability over the license pool. It is a simple but great replacement for the Macrovision SAMreport or SAMsuite at no cost, except your time for the 5 minutes it will take you to get it fired up!
