Managing software licenses efficiently is crucial for organizations that want to optimize costs and ensure compliance. In-house license monitoring solutions can initially be economical, but they come with challenges including slow performance, maintenance overhead, and scalability problems as license demand grows. In addition, in-house tools may not integrate seamlessly with job schedulers, and allocating resources for the development and maintenance of in-house tools may not be cost-effective compared to using commercial solutions. The Altair® Monitor™ license monitoring and management solution lets users and administrators get real-time insight into software license availability, usage, status, and expiry. Monitor uses current and historical data to help optimize license spending and utilization for organizations of any size — including large, multisite environments.
